Amy is the best! When I was feeling deflated by the endless parenting advice that didn’t seem to apply to my kid, Amy was able to step in and help me see what was important: loving and appreciated the kid I had, and doing whatever I could to nurture and preserve that relationship. She helped me step back from the endless power struggles, to better understand what made him tick, and to let go just a bit of what other people thought. Amy is a rockstar!A Mother form North Hampton, MA

Dr. Ballin has transformed a strategy that was typically used to support higher needs students and made it a highly effective Tier I intervention available to students in all grades, kindergarten through grade 12. Dr. Ballin’s Calming Corners model has been one of the most impactful Tier one interventions in our district.Brian R. Wallace, Ed.D.,Director of Social Emotional Learning,Everett Public Schools
