Testimonials

Adina is not afraid to speak her mind, and although I did agree with or do all that she recommended, I know that she really cared about my child. – mom to elementary school student

Adina takes the time to get to know your child. What a refreshing concept. The assessment she created was not a cookie cutter, but rather based upon my needs assessment of what I thought my child needed combined with what Adina felt needed to be added as the process evolved.  Love her and highly recommend. – mom to high school student

Adina recommended that the school evaluate my son for dyslexia. We wanted her to do it, because she seemed to really be in the know for what Jacob needed. Adina wanted me to try the school route first. The school felt like it was immaturity and ADHD, but they agreed to the assessment to appease me. Lo and behold, it was dyslexia…. – mom to 1st grader

My husband and I needed an advocate that took the time to listen to our concerns but also work with our personalities. We had a bad experience with advocacy and were hesitant to try it again. Adina really helped us hone our concerns and really helped maximize our time with the school. She knows her stuff and you won’t be sorry. – J.R. – mom to 5th grader

We hired Adina to do our vision and hearing screenings. She got our kids so comfortable and they can’t wait for the treasure lady to come back again!!

Adina understands the paperwork, even from out of state. She talks to you about your options. She makes it easy to understand and takes the time to hear what you want as a parent.

What a difference taking Adina to a meeting makes. Not only did the school add accommodations, they put our daughter into 504. They even invited the middle school counselor there to address how her program could change at middle school. We could not even get the school to acknowledge a problem before Adina came along!

I did not realize the importance of parenting for goodness of fit. Adina really make s you understand how to reach your child, and she is a great speaker!!

We were feeling really anxious about our ARD meeting and really wanted someone to help us. Adina read through our faxes, did a phone consult, and sat down on a Saturday to do plan our strategy. We felt more comfortable at the meeting, knew what to expect and are on the way to getting what we wanted!! THANKS!!

Adina makes us see the humor in parenting! Listening to her stories makes us feel like we are not alone! She really humanizes the process and we understand that parenting is not a perfect process!!

- parents of a pre-schooler and elementary school student

We appreciate that Adina was able to get to us so quickly. She called us back immediately, scheduled a consultation and evaluation with our daughter within a WEEK! Nobody else could or work with us in that time frame. And the personal attention was really appreciated. Adina also took the time to really explain the results. We didn’t feel like a number ….

- parent of a 2nd grader

Adina is logical, and the advantage of using her as an advocate for your ARD  is that she has sat on both sides as a parent and a district person, so she really can get to the heart of the matter! She also speaks the school’s language so she knows what they are going to propose and she tells us what we need to ask before we get there.

Adina is a humorous yet practical speaker whose training really hits the mark. She takes the time to really answer questions and has a down to earth way that entertains as well as educates. The day went so fast, and I’ve got the hang of using RtI now.
