Accolades

Dr. Porter has given me the courage and strength to support my son when I felt so oppressed by circumstances. What can I say? She is just wonderful! ~ Parent

We were thrilled when Dr. Porter assessed our son’s learning.  Her report gave us many realistic recommendations on how to help our son learn.  We highly recommend her services to any parent who is concerned about their child’s progress in school. ~ Parent, who is a teacher

Just as the cochlea implant has created a major shift for the hearing impaired, so will the availability of a competent resource person through an online environment. I ENCOURAGE families to take advantage of the opportunity offered by Dr. Porter. ~ Sheila Rosenberg, School Psychologist

As a result of your recommendations our daughter’s confidence has grown and her learning has improved.  My relationship with her has also improved because I now understand her needs and can adjust my actions in ways that are positive for both of us. ~ Parent

I really appreciate the great lengths you’ve gone to assist me. Your guidance and expertise has meant a lot to my class, the whole school, and me. ~ Classroom teacher
