Testimonial

Leslie has helped our family navigate early literacy needs for our Kindergartener. As soon as we had our initial conversation, we felt like we finally had a partner who wanted to take a whole-person approach to learning about our child, who instilled confidence that our child would find success, and who was fully invested in helping us navigate how to best support our child.

Leslie provided a balanced approach of educating us on early literacy education, informing us what we should expect our school team to provide to us and our child, providing additional resources, and encouraging us that we were moving in the right direction. Our consultation with Leslie allowed us to approach a meeting with our school teacher, interventionists, and administrators with a clear agenda and informed expectations. Leslie coached us on how to take a partnership-first approach, which has built a stronger overall team of support for our child.

As first-time parents, navigating early literacy needs in the public school system has felt daunting, isolating, and overwhelming. Thanks to Leslie, we finally feel educated and empowered to advocate for our child in a productive way.
