I have been working with Christy for 9 months now and I have learned more about how to support my…read moreAutistic nephew Nathan in these past few months, than in the past 20 years he's been alive. Prior to meeting Christy, my family and I didn't feel like we had many resources to depend on. For many years, raising a child with special needs felt like something we just had to figure out on our own. After meeting Christy and telling her about Nathan, we have learned so much about how to actually help him. We have learned how to navigate the school system, how to maximize our resources, how to better communicate with him in a way HE understands, how to handle all his paperwork as he nears adulthood, and so much more. Unlike so many others in the past, Christy has always treated us and Nathan with respect. From the jump she has been very patient with us and has taken the time to guide us step by step through every obstacle. She is passionate about her work, knowledgable about the school and legal system, dedicated to her mission, and wonderfully reliable. If you have any doubt in your mind that you are not doing the best for your child, I highly recommend setting up a meeting with her, even just to talk. She has been nothing but helpful and supportive of my family and we are all super grateful for her work!

She explained the law and potential ways of navigating my spot as parent and part of the ARD committee. Going into the yearly ARD meeting, I felt more confident knowing she was there as backup. For the first time, the ARD committee worked to create additional accommodations for my son, rather than going through the motions -- 100% because she was there. I'm definitely going to be using Whitley in the future!

Christine Salinas, Occupational Therapist, was my evaluator and instructor for the past 5 weeks…read more It's difficult to commit to writing how absolutely wonderful she was to work with. I'm almost 68 years old and since a stroke in early 2021 have been through an extraordinary series of healthcare issues, and I now live in a wheelchair full time. The idea that I find something to both look forward to and establish some independence was introduced to me by my care team at Rehab Without Walls (they are a whole 5-star review for another time). When I decided to give it a go, I reached out to Strowmatt for the application and learned quite a bit about resources to help people like me get started. I was accepted and Christine was assigned to me as my evaluator. She arrived at our home and was so courteous and accommodating she put me right at ease. After a 2-hour or so thorough cognitive evaluation she determined I had the ability to do this, and we took our first little test drive. I was very apprehensive, but her soothing manner put me at ease, and we set about 12-15 or so hours of learning how to drive a minivan, from a wheelchair, with hand controls. She introduced me to the various options along the way and found the right controls that would work for me. She was more like a wise friend, who kept me up when things felt difficult, and also coached me about how to be safe and confident behind the wheel again. She was my second biggest cheerleader (behind my wife), and was as excited as was I when we passed my driving test. I can and do enthusiastically endorse the team at Strowmatt, and Christine in particular, and thank them all for their help and support!

UPDATE July 1, 2025: I submitted a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Mr. Strowmatt…read moreadmitted, in writing, that my license was reported to the Medical Advisory Board of the DPS on March 18, 2025. The contract I signed with SRS states that the recommendation was to complete and pass a comprehensive road test with the DPS within 6 months of my evaluation with SRS. My evaluation with SRS was completed on March 10, 2025, which gave me until September 10, 2025 to complete my DPS driving assessment. It was completed and passed in May 2025. Additionally, Mr. Strowmatt wrote in his response to the BBB complaint that errors made by the occupational therapist on my vision assessment were intentionally omitted in the SRS evaluation. Mr. Strowmatt wrote, "Due to this mistake [by the occupational therapist] and Ms. Bouse questioning the validity of the test results, SRS elected to omit the outcome of this evaluation." What else does SRS omit from their records?
