In the time of our life when we needed someone with expertise and experience to help navigate my son's unique educational needs, we were fortunate to have been referred to Brandie. I have a lot of experience in this area, so I wasn't exactly sure what she could provide beyond what I already knew or had done. However, during our first phone call with Brandie, her warmth and caring were felt as well as her sincere desire to help. It was quickly clear that she would be a valuable resource.
At that time, my son, who is highly gifted and has always been a high achiever, was struggling to manage his academics due to a new physical health condition and subsequent mental health concerns. At that time we were concerned that he would not be able to even finish courses needed for graduation. Brandie provided insight and alternatives to present to the school after consultation and full review of my son's academic documents. The suggestions she offered were part of the "out of the box" solutions that were exactly what were needed to help my son get back on track. He is now graduating high school and will be starting UC Berkeley in the Fall. We are thankful to Brandie and would highly recommend her services for consultation and assistance with customized educational plans and options.
