"Our son, Marty, has received BSS for many years and SLS for over
four years from OPG.  We believe that the quality he receives
allows him to live the best least-restrictive lifestyle possible...OPG definitely meets our expectations."
~Dan and Nancy Macaluso

"Dan is the best! He helped my sister, Lisa, get more desperately-needed hours for her plan."

"I think Amanda Cook is just spectacular.  She is consistent, kind, encouraging, thoughtful, willing to try new things, and doesn't give up easily even when my daughter would like her to.  We are so fortunate to get to work with her."
