What are people saying about Alisha?
- Your cognitive/educational assessment is a really great overview of her functioning and is helpful for the school to hopefully use some strategies to ensure that she doesn't get overwhelmed. It is so easy to put all of her difficulties down to trauma and attachment, when in fact there are some cognitive strengths and weaknesses that need to be catered for. So it was really helpful to get that report and make sure that side of her needs are being responded to :)
- Alisha was fantastic and helped our daughter feel comfortable straight away. The testing went really smoothly. I recommend the follow up meeting to clarify anything from the report. There is a lot of information to understand. Our daughter is now loving school! Trying out for singing in the rock band!
- Alisha immediately made a connection with our son who then felt safe and comfortable in her company. She put his mind at ease as he was feeling nervous, and she thoughtfully answered any questions he had about the assessment. Thanks Alisha - we really appreciated your hard work.
- Wow thank you so much Sue, that was a lot of time and effort on your behalf! It is a relief to understand finally what is going on for our child. We have been waiting for this for a very long time!
- Awesome Sue, thanks SO much for your warm and exceptional service. You really have made us/and our child feel very comfortable and hoping it will help get her some help and extra guidance for her future. We HIGHLY recommend your thorough work.
- "I found working with Robyn very easy. She was excellent with communication (even while travelling!) and very accommodating when it came to changing our meeting times. During our face-to-face, she broke information down in a way that was understandable to parents. She made all parties involved feel relaxed - I think this is potentially a difficult thing to do, given the delicate nature of some of the things we discussed."
- "Clarified and gave evidence to support our thoughts around a student, aided parents to come to terms with the academic capabilities/strengths/weaknesses of their child.
