"Long Island Strive has made an enormous difference in my 24 year old son’s day. He attends several classes there 2x a week and it is well worth the 50 minute commute from Huntington. Classes that are exercise based have aided in his 60+lbs weight loss.  Classes in the community have helped him socialize and connect with other young adults. Classes regarding nutrition have helped him develop daily living skills.   The patience and care of the staff are the best I’ve seen in many many years of involving my son in various activities. I am so grateful I found LI Strive. It is such a blessing for him and our family".

"Before we encountered Long Island Strive we were struggling as the parents of a special needs adolescent in finding activities that were appropriate in  fostering our son's yearning to make social connections, learn daily  living skills that will help foster his independence, and more importantly have a variety of choices that align with his interests. We then found LI Strive that addressed all these things while being close to our home! "
