Testimonials

  • “Elyse has the ability to digest all the academic and social testing data to go along with what she sees in practice. She is able to help identify specific needs for our daughter which reduces her anxiety and improves her self confidence. I think most importantly, Elyse was able to see our daughter's strengths, not just recognize her challenges. As part of the ISEE tutoring, she provided immediate improvement in test taking skills. I believe Elyse also had really specific conversations with her about her accommodations and insisting she advocate for herself. Elyse's feedback to us on what she saw was also so valuable. We don't get this specific information very often and it felt like a relief to get additional insight into where she was struggling.”
