What People Are Saying About Us
-Parent, San Francisco Bay Area
“Sadie came on board with our team when our last educational consultant left after two years with us. Within days, it became apparent to us a family and a team that we hadn’t been gutting the full potential of having an educational consultant; we needed someone to advocate for our child/children ourselves. Sadie has given us new hope and allowed us to be vulnerable and able to express our concerns openly while working diligently with us.”
-Former Student, San Francisco Bay Area
“She changed my life as a student and as a person. She impacts everybody’s life. I am so grateful that she was my teacher for three years, and now that she has her own company for special education, I am so proud of her. I needed a lot of help when i was young, I didn’t learn or understand the basic things, but she helped me very much.”
-Parent, San Francisco Bay Area
Sadie has been the catalyst our team desperately needed to get things moving and done. Sadie brings a huge amount of experience with regard to the special needs challenges we face and can challenge the team where needed to provide or take a step back in certain areas.”
-Parent, San Francisco Bay Area
"Sadie gets the job done! We had spent months trying to get our school district to finalize our child's IEP with no luck. Within a couple of days contacting her we had our meeting set, her guidance throughout the whole process was invaluable. She is tenacious & extremely knowledgeable. We plan to have her on our team for future IEP reviews too.”
-Parent, San Francisco Bay Area
“Now that the dust is finally starting to settle in our lives, I wanted to personally thank you for being one of our greatest advocates and believers!”
-Parent, San Francisco Bay Area
"Sadie's genuine love and respect for the most high-need students, combined with her comprehensive knowledge of education policy, made her an invaluable resource to our family. We could not have navigated the transition from public school to NPS and back again without her"
