Cary and Andrew have been a great help in assisting me get my daughter tested and potentially getting an IEP set up for her. She has been struggling in school and I am eternally grateful for their help. They have gone above and beyond by assisting me in sending an email (that got a response), prepared me for the meeting, and also were by my side and put me at ease before and during the meeting. I could have genuinely not done it without their help.

The educators at the Salinas office are wonderful, my son was able to spend a session with each one individually and was able to choose his teacher. Because of this option he enjoys going to his sessions and is making great progress.

Cary has been very helpful in meeting the needs of our students with the help of her teachers. Weekly reports are completed and given to our teachers. This is very helpful in them knowing how the students are doing. I couldn't ask for better communication.
