Professional development workshops
Dr. Ballin was a valuable resource to teachers and administrators in building sustainable routines of classroom management, differentiation, and cooperative learning in our classrooms. Due to her calm and reassuring manner and her effective classroom strategies; teachers quickly trusted Dr. Ballin and could take risks, allowing them to grow in best practices.Kristen Nemekal, Elementary Network Chair/Instructional Coach, Pioneer Charter School of Science
As a parent of both boys and girls, I’ve had the pleasure of seeking advice and coaching from Amy for over 20 years as my children have grown, from ages 5 to 25. As a parent herself, she brings both personal experience and professional knowledge to her advice. I’ve consulted her on a wide range of issues, from maintaining family harmony to navigating school challenges and peer relationships. She is incredibly easy to talk to, always non-judgmental, and truly listens with empathy. Her advice is trustworthy, practical, and grounded in real-world solutions. What I appreciate most is the flexibility to reach out for short consultations whenever I need guidance, without the commitment of an ongoing therapeutic arrangement. I highly recommend Amy to any parent looking for sound advice and support!A mother of three from Cape Ann, MA
