A word from the families we have reached!

I have worked with Laura in a professional capacity as a gifted support teacher for many years.

Laura was always eager to collaborate with staff and communicate with parents in her efforts to meet the academic and social emotional needs of her students. 

Whether learning support or gifted support, Laura worked to provide exactly what each child needed to be a successful learner. 

Laura understood the importance of building relationships with parents, teachers, and especially children as we worked together to help them feel valued, seen, and connected.

This program has helped my grandson tremendously with learning his emotions, how to vocalize how he is feeling, and has helped him to learn coping skills that he may use to help him calm himself down in times of anger, rage, or sadness.

I also must acknowledge the help given by Laura Smith when it came to my grandsons schooling. She not only advised me on how to get him an IEP but she also stood by my side through the meeting with the school and made sure that they implemented exactly what he needed, she demanded that he be tested and evaluated, and helped to get him all of the supports that he needed.
