Testimonials:

“Carol Ann’s rich experience has given her a deep understanding of school, teacher and district dynamics and her ability to empathize, communicate and reach productive, balanced outcomes in that environment.  We don’t know what we would have done without her involvement and we highly, and gratefully, recommend her to anyone looking for a well qualified and deeply committed partner in their child’s education.” Don Thorson

“When we enlisted Carol Ann she helped optimize the medicines for ADHD, advocated for him to have accommodations for his dyslexia (like using a computer in class). He no longer is stressed out at school.  Carol Ann showed how his strengths outweighed his differences and that he could excel in school, and he has.” Dr. Edward Riley

“Carol Ann does a fabulous job of guiding students, especially LD students, through the educational maze. She is a zealous advocate for her students, ensuring that her students’ needs are met by the school.”  Peter Baum
