Family Member Quotes
“Laura (Seese) related very well to my daughter and made her feel very comfortable. She made it possible for her to complete many hours of testing without any difficulty (not an easy thing to do!)… Very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. Made my daughter feel at ease. Knew when to take breaks.”
“Thank you for referring us to Laura Seese. I just wanted to say Laura has exceeded all our expectations and been an amazing resource and advocate and listener. She has shepherded us through the school search process. We are so grateful to have her on our team, and we owe it all to you. A million thanks!!!!”
“Based on the report from Dr. Seese we were able to substantiate that our school district was not able to provide an education environment that would accommodate our child’s needs. The report helped us demonstrate the need for our child to be placed in a therapeutic learning environment.”
