Testimonials
Hear what some of out clients have had to say about out services.
Mr. Hawkins is an organized, responsible, reliable and compassionate caregiver. My son has severe Autism and is completely nonverbal, he is aggressive to himself and others. He has taken the time to learn how to communicate with him, his way. He constantly pushes him to work hard and do more independently but at the same time has learned the warning signs of his limits. He is open minded about things we are considering and want opinions on, but also isn’t afraid to offer any insight he has. He has a professional attitude and a unique combination of experience and skills in social work, mentoring and human compassion. As a parent this is the first time I have felt like someone actually sees my child and truly as more than disabled, and never treats him that way. He is the best thing that has happened to my son life, I can’t image the last 6 years without his influence.

Mr. Hawkins has provided my son with the opportunity to be himself. My son has struggled with his behaviors, identity, and aggression for years. Mr. Hawkins identified my sons struggles and set goals to reach them. Mr. Hawkins provided love, nurturing, teaching, and even tough love when needed. I’m grateful for the work he has done and what he has taught my son. Mr. Hawkins has the ability to come off as laid back but still get the most and best qualities of the kids he works with to shine through.
Mr. Hawkins has provided stellar mentoring service to my son through effective communication and holding him accountable for the choices he makes across all environments. My son has become a more confident and happy person with Mr Hawkins and Moving Forward Mentoring.
