What I really like about her approach is she doesn't just pull from one theory or methodology. She draws from aspects of a variety to truly tailor treatment to each client individually. She also provides great parent coaching. Sometimes as a parent it can be hard to know how to approach certain things with your child. You don't always know exactly how to tune into your child's needs in the best way. She offers reflective parenting which is so helpful and insightful to parents. I am always pleased and impressed with her work and treatment.

Our son also is on the spectrum and so far all staff have been great at adjusting to his needs. We appreciate how SD learning meets with us regularly to give us an update on our son progress. But what is even better is that they also reach out to my son's school teachers and also asks for updates as well. This is something that should be done as they try their best to collaborate not only with the parents but the school staff. This well rounded care has done nothing but bring enrichment in our son's learning and we appreciate SD learning center very much! Would definitely recommend!

DowEdu was recommended by a colleague and I knew in our first meeting Steve was the best fit for our son compared to some of the others I evaluated. We used the Junior year assessment, Senior year submission, and ACT testing preparation services. The process was clearly communicated, organized, with timelines established and follow up from DowEdu was exceptional. Personally, I was grateful to not have to figure out the timeline and many many deadlines or argue with my son to follow up and stay on track. I'm also extremely grateful I didn't have to help write, read or submit the so many essays that are needed for this. I cannot say enough good things about Steve and the services provided by DowEdu!!!
