What Our Parents Say

  • "I am so incredibly fortunate that Colette was my son Max’s teacher for both grade 2 and grade 3. I cannot begin to describe the positive influence that Colette had on Max during those two very important and formative years. Right from the beginning, Colette took Max away from the special-education environment, and integrated him fully (and successfully!) in the regular school program. Colette’s guidance, encouragement, and communication (with Max and with us) enabled Max to integrate socially with his peers. This is important for any child, but especially so for children with Asperger’s Syndrome."
