There is absolutely nothing that can take the place of years of experience, and Barbara’s intuition and bone deep knowledge of learning differences, how children cope in the world and what contributes to their success is evident from her years of teaching and special education administration.  We started working with Barbara when our daughter was in the 8th grade and struggling in just about every aspect of school.  Barbara’s coaching was invaluable in helping us advocate for special education services and eventually for an out-of-district placement in a therapeutic school.  Barbara was thorough, persistent, intuitive and knowledgeable from beginning to end and we couldn’t have done it without her.  We are now the proud parents of a successful college student who knows how to work effectively with her learning differences and whose dream is to become a pediatric oncology nurse.
