Client Feedback and Testimonials

"Dr. Reed's workshop performance was exceptional. She truly understands what eduators need and you can feel her passion as she speaks"
-Anonymous client, Campus Principal

“The professional development was so empowering! Dr. Reed emphasized how valuable we are as paraprofessionals and empowered me to feel more confident collecting student progress data.”
-Helen F., High School Special Education Paraprofessional
-
“I really enjoyed Dr. Reed and her professional development session for Special Education teachers. Her approach to developing better systems and routines for teachers, paraprofessionals, and leaders is nothing like the typical ‘sit and get’ trainings I have received in the past. She understands what we need because she has been in our shoes and knows what truly works to make the data collection and reporting part of the SPED teacher’s job easier and better. She just GETS it!”
-L. Tagen, Resource Teacher

"It was truly a pleasure to hear Dr. Reed speak at our school district's pre-planning professional development session. She truly has a wealth of knowledge in her field and is able to easily translate her knowledge to an audience in a way that is easy to understand. So much of what Dr. Reed spoke about resonated with me not only as a Professional School Counselor but also as an LPC. It is so critical that we as school counselors understand the effects of trauma and brain functioning in the work we do with youth and are able to easily apply it using the strategies that Dr. Reed explored and reviewed in our session. Dr. Reed is professional, skilled, and poised, and yet still keeps the attention of the audience by infusing humor, enthusiasm, and a sense of connectedness in her presentation. I would highly recommend Dr. Reed for your next workshop and or speaking engagement."
Larri R., School Counselor
