Kim McClain has been Godsend to our family. She is…read moreprofessional and embodies every quality that a parent would wish for in someone advocating for their child. She is extremely knowledgeable, very attentive to details, and has my child's best interest in mind. She is very clear and straightforward in representing the needs of our child at our IEP meetings. I had previously hired an attorney as we have been on a very long, difficult, and stressful journey with our School district not willing to provide the services that my daughter desperately needs. I was feeling hopeless, defeated, and overwhelmed. She gave me the strength and support I needed to keep fighting. She was able to accomplish more than what our attorney could. The great thing about Kim is that she was not only superb in meetings while advocating for our daughter and our family, she also educated us providing a range of options for the future. Kim is a valuable asset to have on your side in a very complicated legal area. I highly recommend her. Thank you Kim!

Amy's familiar with district staff, my son's teachers, old and new. Although I haven't hired her yet. During the phone conversation Amy took HER TIME, to speak to me by phone at length. Amy heard my concerns, knew they were warranted. Then all my questions What do I do? What can I do? What would you do? Amy gave me good advice, and the truth about what she knew on what we are experiencing. The people we are dealing with. As a parent we need support when crisis hits! Help is to take our calls, hear our concerns, collaborate on what is our next move? In a time of texts and emails, real phone conversations are so important! I have 14 year old son with high functioning Autism and anxiety. He was diagnosed at 10. One of my sons doctors told me you need a special Ed advocate, no parent understands how the IEP process works and you can't walk in there alone! Oh BoY he was right, don't go in alone!

Precious Kirstein, the Client Service Coordinator at Kadiant, reached out to me regarding a…read morebehavioral therapist named Ryan. I've lost track of all the behavioral therapists my son has had; I don't even recall what he looked like. Everything is very one-sided regarding issues at Kadiant. For example, one day Nathan called me at work and said he would cancel a session because my son wasn't awake. I informed Nathan that I can't take calls like that while at work. He never excused himself, apologized, or acknowledged my statement. I accessed my home camera and captured a screenshot of my son while he was awake. I texted Nathan to put an end to his back-and-forth because he wasn't getting the point. Nathan did not cancel the session because Donny was awake. I informed Nathan that he should send Diego, the behavioral therapist, home if he couldn't handle the session. It's very simple. Diego engages in things that are inappropriate. For instance, Diego thinks I'm unaware of his activities on the Discord app. This is a recurring issue, and I have notified them about it. They conducted themselves precisely as I anticipated, failing to investigate the matter. Since Diego openly displays this behavior and looks around to see if we noticed, two other caregivers have seen it too. Yes, we noticed. They are merely foolish and nonsensical and act as though the families are when really it's the other way around. A single review cannot address all of the issues at this location. I requested the proper documentation, but it was one of the last issues I encountered. I included the service coordinator from the Regional Center in an email in order to assist in obtaining the documentation I've been requesting and to answer any questions we may have. Nathan dislikes it when I confront him with evidence and straightforward observations. I will admit that Nathan has a lot of experience, but I've observed that he doesn't stress or experience burnout because he tends to be quite lazy in his work. It's clear that he is unable to provide any documentation. He always requests for a "parent training" meeting just to talk and show you graphs. I have never been presented with anything as concrete as in notes, assessments, documentation, etc. Nathan and the behavioral therapists are not doing productive work. Of course I am excluding the highly skilled behavioral therapists who have resigned. Nathan ran to Precious in tears, believing that I had hurt his feelings. This is a business, not a venue for accommodating feelings or engaging in sentimental activities like singing Kumbaya. As a mother, my focus is on ensuring my son receives the necessary services. It's that straightforward.
