Her teacher, Mary Frances was able to find the perfect balance of giving her space while strongly encouraging her when the time was right. As a result, she loves school and has become so much more confident. She even likes PE now which has always been difficult for her. She has participated in music recitals and school plays and she is very proud of being a part of these performances. In the past it has been difficult for her navigate through having more than one friend. She has made so many friends at Frostig and has the support she needs when she doesn't know what to do. The social skills program gives her a space to ask questions and gain understanding. People with autism often do want to understand things they just aren't able to on their own. Frostig understands this and gives her the extra help she needs to be successful socially as well.

I took my daughter here for a couple of years. It's a very large commitment of time and money for…read morethe program they put the kids through. They "customize" the program to the child and use a lot of un-scientifically sound programs. Still, we were committed or perhaps desperate to help our child. After all the time and effort, I think what happened is that she just got older, and they called this progress. I don't think it was worth the time and especially the money. Most of the "clinicians" are young college graduates and they are friendly and follow the programs well. They are good people, but I voiced my opinion that I didn't think the program was being effective and wanted to make sure we were on the right track. I was repeatedly told that it was a part of the program and that we'd "see" all the work done as it begins to translate outside of their program at the very end of the program. At the end of the program, I feel like they just "finished" the program because they couldn't justify taking any more of our money and time. At the end we still have major behavior problems and poor grades, etc.

We are coming to the end of the third-grade school year, and our third grader has experienced increased confidence, a lifting up of strengths, and targeted support in areas that needed growth. Even though this is a small community, I'm awe-struck at the dedication of both the administration and the teaching staff. The school's overall approach intertwines tried-and-true teaching techniques, evolving educational modalities, social justice, and the needs of the students. Their enrichment and exploration programs aren't boilerplate; they are well thought-out. At first, the parent participation seemed daunting. Still, I realized that while families of all beliefs comprise this community, the school's social-justice-inspired Quaker philosophies of simplicity, peace, integrity, community, equality, and stewardship have made collaboration seamless.

We are in the process of moving to another state, and are so sad to say goodbye to lessons with him. It's obviously not easy to teach such young learners, but he was always enthusiastic and generous with his time and understanding of the ebbs and flows of young minds. Our daughter absolutely loved lessons with him. She learned to count fingers for piano, symbol recognition, to establish pulse, and wrist movements that will help her muscle memory as she pursues piano in the future. She had an especially fun time making up songs with Mr. David, and dancing while he played. Though she was not old enough to learn to read music with him yet, she benefitted so much from her time with him, and learned from his contagious love of music. We can't recommend him highly enough!

This establishment is something else. I signed up my son for some math tutoring and the contract…read moreprice was $66.00 per one hour session once a week till the end of this year. This was a month ago. Well since then my son has only gone to one session and thats because of the tutor he has is no longer a junior tutor but now a "premier" tutor and I should now have to pay the "premier" price for the same service. Well, I said no thank you find me another tutor and they did. Well my son really liked this tutor so we were all happy cuz that in it of itself is a task. Had one session, then I get an email from the school about a tutor leaving junior tutor to premier and to be happy for this person. Like I truly care. So low and behold I get a call saying that my tutor for my son cant tutor him unless I pay more money. I own a plumbing business if my journeyman plumber became a mater plumber in the middle of your job I cant charge you more money. Thats not your expense. So now I reported this to the BBB spoke to my attorney and sure enough this is not the way one conducts business.

From the very beginning, Mark has been more than just an advocate -- he has been a true ally and guiding light through one of the most challenging journeys we've faced. Mark's deep understanding of special education law and the complexities of the school district system has been nothing short of life-changing for our family. He has stood firmly by our side, ensuring that our son's needs were not overlooked or minimized. When the district tried to cut essential services, Mark skillfully and compassionately stepped in, using his expertise to protect our child's rights. What truly sets Mark apart is his ability to see through the misleading language and tactics often used by districts to deny or delay services. He doesn't just respond -- he educates and empowers families like ours to understand the process and stand strong. Mark Woodsmall is, quite simply, a Godsend. His integrity, compassion, and unwavering commitment to children with special needs make him a rare and remarkable advocate. Because of his efforts, our son continues to receive the support he needs to thrive -- and for that, we will be forever grateful.

Mark met us where we were at-which was pretty defeated at the time- not just with legal expertise, but with personal insight and emotional sensitivity. He and his team walked us through every step of the process, with thoroughness, detail, communication, patience, warmth, and kindness. He once said, "I know you like to know how the soup is made...", and took the time to explain to me the intricate and oftentimes overwhelming legal jargon, history and process'. A little about us-our daughter was diagnosed with Autism, OCD, ADHD, Tic Disorder, Excoriation, MDD and GAD when she 14. She was and is also considered a "2-E" or "twice exceptional" student, meaning simultaneously intellectually gifted and neurologically, mentally and emotionally challenged. Despite her challenges in almost every other aspect of her life, she thrived academically, musically and artistically, receiving a 4.4 GPA almost every year in high school. Because of her grades and like many girls with neurodivergence, her ability to mask, public schools overlooked how much she was suffering on a day to day basis. She struggled with large student populations, constant noise with no where to hide, the ruminating thoughts that come with OCD about every single stimulus she was exposed to, executive functioning, etc. Autism made it hard to navigate friendships among a giant pool of people that left her neurological system in overdrive daily. She needed an alternative setting to learn, but the public school system could not offer an alternative learning space that also offered the academic rigor that she needed and deserved. Mark and his team did not over promise, were real with us and fought for us with integrity, calmness, and dedication. They always remembered that the outcome we wanted was for our daughter, and he would often ask how she was doing. Our daughter was able to attend a school with a smaller class size, AP classes, art and music offerings, a larger support team, and has been thriving since-not just academically, but she has made friends, plays high school beach volleyball, DRIVES!, and comes home most days pretty calm. This outcome would not have been possible without Mark Woodsmall and his team. We are immensely grateful and can not thank him and his team enough!
