“After looking over your website and reading everything, I feel for the first time that there is hope”

“Merryn did a phenomenal job advocating for us on behalf of our daughter.  Without her, we never would have gotten a nonpublic placement for our daughter by our school district at their expense!  Merryn was very professional and polite and extremely knowledgeable.    She attended our IEP meetings and developed an excellent rapport with all parties involved.  She is very thorough and has excellent follow-up.  She was with us every step of the way and told us exactly what to do.

Together, we did what needed to be done and got the results we desired.  I can’t say enough about Merryn.  Without her we felt frustrated and lost in the process and more importantly, our child was lost!  Merryn has made such a difference for our family and has literally changed our lives and our future.  Every child deserves FAPE, a free and appropriate public education and to be properly assessed and tested for learning and cognitive disabilities so that their needs are adequately addressed.  It is our hopes that Merryn can help others achieve positive outcomes by sharing her talents and expertise. Merryn is a kind and caring person and knows the ropes.  I would highly recommend her services. ”

“Hi Merryn,

What a fantastic IEP. The highlight was seeing how everyone came together in support of (my son). You orchestrated a great team. Your support was tremendous. I felt so encouraged to keep up the hope and I see how far I have come. It is a process that can really promote growth and maturity. Last year I was so overwhelmed, I basically stuck my head in the sand.

Now I feel so thrilled at the plan that is in place for (my son) because I see many open doors for him. Your skill at building a team and writing goals is excellent. It has been our pleasure and honor to work with you and hope to continue to do so in the years to come. I will keep you up on his progress.  Also great news, he had his first social skills group that very day and was so excited about it. He really enjoyed it and I am asking him what we did and getting ideas for practice at home.

I am very happy  to recommend your services. You are a life saver. I know so many families have benefited by their association with you. Also I am very excited by your expansion into being a life coach. Good going! I hope to find my niche in the future. Stay well.”

“Merryn,

I am so glad I called you for help about Corey and his school problems.  You have been a blessing to both of us and I’m always telling people how you are making a change in our lives.  What would I have done without you?  Thank you so much for taking on the system.”

“Merryn played a vital role in helping to facilitate the most effective placement for our son. Navigating the school system can be overwhelming, unsettling and very emotional.    At our IEP meetings she did a remarkable job of creating a cohesive team  of professionals that worked towards achieving the best possible placement for our son. She has an amazing ability to negotiate in an effective but non threatening manner.

I admire her for many reasons and feel blessed to have had her support both professionally and personally during a very difficult time.  We will always be grateful to Merryn for all that she has given our family.”
