Parenting, at its best, means being an advocate for your child. The information we gained from our daughters' comprehensive testing by Dr. Stephens has been immeasurable. Dr. Stephens helped us gain an appreciation of both daughters' extraordinary minds. We were empowered with useful information to help us make decisions with their strengths and weaknesses as guidelines. Our children are no longer clueless about their abilities to learn. After interacting with Dr. Stephens, both girls have a realistic assessment of their academic abilities. They know that with the right tools any goal is attainable. As parents, we can now work with their teachers from a position of partnership because we are aware of our daughters' actual potential. Allowing Dr. Stephens, this wonderful professional, to enlighten us on this parenting journey, has been absolutely priceless.
−Wayne and Regina Powe
First of all… thank you! What an enormous difference we have seen in only a few short months. Our daughter can read! I mean really read! There is not a single word she cannot decode.
Her self concept as a reader and writer is so vastly improved it is astonishing to see. And her writing! Oh my gosh! You would not believe how beautiful her hand writing is.
You said early on we would be glad we did this testing and you were so very right. I cringe to think of what it would be like now had we not done so.
The long and the short of it is this: I count you as a blessing in our lives every day. If ever there is any parent who needs support for the testing process, feel free to send them our way. If ever there is anything I can do for you and yours, just ask. I know, I know "you're just doing your job." Nonetheless, it is so much more than just that. You created doors where only walls were and for that, I am truly ever grateful.
