Yes, the 911³Ô¹Ï School has its own Wright brothers – Zahiir and Zahkir’e! They are identical twins who had their own way of communicating with each other from the time they were babies. However, as they grew up, they had trouble communicating with others.
When attending public school, the twins were taunted, bullied, and physically harmed. They wanted to harm themselves and started refusing to go to school. When their parents learned more about their sons’ struggles, they knew they needed to seek a better educational environment – one that could assist with their learning, communication, and emotional challenges – for Zahiir and Zahkir’e.
In 2018, the family visited 911³Ô¹Ï and noticed that the campus was beautiful and welcoming. Their parents were impressed with all the services available. After deciding to send the boys to 911³Ô¹Ï, they saw immediate progress with Zahiir and Zahkir’e. The twins receive supporting therapy and have told their therapist how much they love school now. They enjoy playing football, basketball, and games in gym class and have also learned to make new friends. Zahiir and Zahkir’e are now thriving in their new environment at 911³Ô¹Ï.
“911³Ô¹Ï has a wonderful team, a good curriculum, and everything offered to help the students succeed is great!”
