My child has attended sessions at Strategies for Learning twice per week for over two years. Her work there has greatly helped to build her confidence and has provided her with a number of tools that she uses in school every day. ... She also enjoys going there, which makes my life much easier.
The education therapists at Strategies for Learning have been tremendous advocates for my daughter in dealing with the school district and with individual teachers ... The therapists at Strategies for Learning all follow the approach of Phyllis Koppelman, the founder of the organization. They deal with the whole child with kindness and understanding.
