Testimonials from Families

“My son worked closely with Kira between 6th and 7th grade, and she has been the educator I've long sought for him. My son has learning differences, including dysgraphia, dyslexia, and inattentive ADHD. Despite being bright and articulate, he struggles to express his knowledge in writing and even math. Many resource teachers couldn’t pinpoint his true challenges or provide effective support. Kira, however, has built a strong rapport with him while holding him to high standards. She gives me hope that, with her support, he can reach his full potential by addressing the gaps in his learning foundation.”

“Things were in crisis mode for my son behaviorally and academically, meanwhile we were on months-long wait lists for services and assessments. I am so grateful that we got referred to Kira! Kira has so much experience navigating schools and resources and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does and the kids she works with. Logistically, it was super easy to work with her from calls, to appointments, to payment. But most importantly to me, Kira immediately saw my son for the good, sweet person he is inside and helped us understand the kind of help he needed. If you're considering help for your family to get through a rough patch or help your child develop some much needed skills - call Kira now!”

“We started working with Kira during the summer between second and third grade, and the impact on my child was truly remarkable. My eight-year-old, who has high-functioning ASD, ADHD, and steath dyslexia, not only caught up academically but also developed greater emotional resilience and regulation around learning—the biggest gift of all. Kira made learning FUN. She focused on building trust and rapport before working on more difficult material and prioritizing her connection with my child. During the summer, Kira helped solidify concepts from second grade and preview third-grade material, which set my child up for a confident and successful start to the school year. We continued Kira's support into the school year. She works closely with my child’s teachers and the school's learning specialist to identify areas where they need support and ensure they are prepared for upcoming challenges. I cannot recommend Kira highly enough to families looking for an Ed therapist who truly understands how to nurture both academic growth and emotional development in neurodiverse learners. She’s exceptional!”

“Kira Jacob has been a transformative resource for our kiddo, who is high functioning with ASD. Kira is so comfortable with our kid’s unique profile, including demand avoidance. She has been able to emotionally connect with our child and this has opened the door to getting caught up academically after a solid year of her not really participating in the classroom. Kira also has been an amazing partner in coordinating with teachers, other specialists and clinicians, and school administrators. Kira is an amazing resource for any kid needing support, especially those with ASD. Lastly… she is a true partner to the parents and has made our lives easier by coordinating with our busy lives at every step of the way. Kira is amazing and we value her deeply!!”
