  • “Ali was a lifesaver when our district kept delaying our son's evaluations. She knew exactly which letters to write and who to contact. Within weeks, we had district-funded evaluations scheduled and services in place. Her expertise saved us thousands of dollars and precious time.“

    The Diaz Family

  • “When our child struggled with reading and speech in third grade, we felt lost. Ali created a comprehensive service plan, coordinated with providers, and tracked progress meticulously. Within six months, our daughter made remarkable progress. Ali's regular provider meetings kept everyone aligned and accountable.”

    The Reid Family

  • “Managing our daughter's ADHD without medication required careful school coordination. Ali translates our daughter's needs to teachers effectively and helps us interpret her progress. Her detailed analysis of report cards and assignments helps us make informed decisions about support strategies. She's our trusted advocate.”

    The Thompson Family

  • “When our daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia, we felt overwhelmed regarding how to best help her. Ali streamlined the entire post-neuropsychological evaluation process for us and held our hands as we explored how to proceed. Ali's expertise and meticulous nature eased all of our worries and took the mental load off of our plates. Because of Ali, our daughter is thriving at The Windward School. We couldn't have done it without her!”
