TESTIMONIALS

I often hear students laughing and having fun in their sessions with [their ETP provider] and they’re doing great!
Allyson W.
Special Education Director
I could not have asked for a better COTA! [Student’s] parent is super involved and concerned, and he reached out. [COTA] took the reins and educated the parent and the entire team on what occupational therapy is doing for [student]. It was amazing!
Abigail
OT
[ETP’s OT team] have been awesome! We appreciate them, and everything that your company does to support our work here!
Karren
Special Education Director
I have to share this with you. I was just in an IEP meeting and I want to make sure you and Richard have some kudos [regarding] Mrs. A.. The parent of one of the students she is working with just said she is the best teacher he has ever had. She truly has the ability to reach their son, and the techniques [Mrs. A.] is using [his parents] are also using [at home] and seeing such growth.
Alyssa L.
Dean of Students
I’ve never worked with an SLP I’ve liked more. I work with a lot of good ones and she tops them all. I like most that she will reach out and make connections where others will sit and wait, she’s very proactive. She doesn’t feel like she’s intruding, she feels like a connected team member. I’d give her a raise if I could. Parents and students have said the same, that connection is rock solid, kudos for bringing her on board.
Jim L.
Assistant Director of Online Learning
Richard’s company has been amazing to work with at our school. Reliable, professional and highly competent. They understand our complex model and comprehensive “in place” services (cursive, learning position, keyboarding) and work diligently to accommodate that.

[My teacher] is the best teacher ever. I could barely read until she came along. Now I’m reading [at] grade level. I love her soooo much.

[My teacher] is the best teacher because [she is] patient, understanding, supportive, easy to learn from, helpful, creative, encouraging, smart, what I want in a teacher.

Your staff is very professional and they come as scheduled, always with a smile on their face. I feel confident that if they have to miss a week due to scheduling conflict or their own sickness, they will make it up. We love seeing your providers in our building!

I just wanted to give a shout-out to your AMAZING team. Every time I hold an IEP, I’m continually impressed with your related service providers. Their attention to detail, rapport with parents and creativity when writing goals is very refreshing!! It’s so nice to work with people who genuinely care about the students and not only their progress, but their well-being!

My son’s fine motor skills have improved over 50% from what it was at the beginning of the year. Especially in his improvement in writing cursive. Thanks for your personal touch in helping my son.

My daughter has made remarkable progress this year. When we see people that we haven’t seen for an extended period of time they all comment on how well they can understand her. THANK you!
Michelle
Parent
One of the district specialists saw one of your OT reports and put it on our SpEd director’s desk, asking why the rest of the district doesn’t get such awesome information. They’re gonna push to require the OTs to follow in your awesome footsteps and start doing some WORK. I told you that you’re a star!
Amy J.

My students made more progress with Richard than we had seen in the years before he came to work with us. The students loved working with Richard and looked forward to being with him. He shared ideas and accommodations that helped my students to be successful in school.

Richard not only helps students but also communicates with teachers on ways that can be helpful in the classroom. It is a rare occasion that you find an individual that is so dedicated and helpful in their job.
Jessica L.

I have found Richard to be very knowledgeable in his profession with regards to fine motor skills, as well as sensory processing challenges and concerns. He has provided very effective services with students, and I have witnessed the improvement that many of those students have made while working with him.

Working with Richard has been the biggest help to our students. He is able to work with them at their level and make the learning engaging and fun. Our students have made great progress while working with him and look forward to therapy with him every time he is in the class.
