After speaking with the college disabilities office I realized that we did not have sufficient current testing to secure adaptations at college for my daughter. We are leaving town for 10 days then she has orientation and moves to college August 12 so we were in a bit of a panic to get the testing done and get direction on what to do.
Laurie, with Diagnostic Learning Services, did my daughter's testing four years ago and even came with us to meetings at PISD and was a huge advocate for her and our family. In my opinion Laurie went above and beyond for us (at no extra charge). For this reason I wanted to use her again but was not sure if she would be able to help us on such short notice – but she did!!!!
I contacted Laurie last week and she returned my call while she was on vacation! I explained our short time frame and that we would be out of town most of the rest of the summer, and Laurie adjusted her schedule to accommodate ours! She tested my daughter on Tuesday, and my daughter just loved her. She made her feel comfortable and encouraged her and didn’t make her feel like she was stupid or lacking when she missed a problem or couldn’t finish something. Then, because we are going out of town, Laurie calculated all of the data, wrote up a wonderful report for us and again rearranged her schedule to meet with us before we left!
We met with Laurie today and she was fabulous! She took extra time to contact my daughter’s college to find out exactly what tests and documentation was required and prepared a special report for us. She took time to explain all of the testing, the scores and what they mean. She shared with us what the school looks for and what adaptations she recommended based on the test results (which were exactly on target with what my daughter thought she needed) and she took time to share with my daughter what her strengths are and weaknesses and how that will help her in college and what she needs to be careful of in college. She had great suggestions and feedback and was very generous with her time with us today. She encouraged my daughter and made her feel like an incredibly gifted student, which she is, despite her learning difference. Laurie did a lot to boost her confidence, to assure all of us about the future and her success in college and prepared a great packet that my daughter can hand deliver to the disabilities office when she goes for orientation the day after we return from our trip.
I cannot say enough good things about our experiences with Laurie Gaines and Diagnostic Learning Services and because of that just wanted to share this with you as I know it is such a hard time for parents and students alike when they are going through evaluations. Laurie did a complete and thorough job, worked around our schedule, made it a pleasant experience for my daughter, was completely professional but at the same time very compassionate and fun. I cannot recommend Laurie highly enough and wanted to share this with you so you can share my endorsement with any parents who are in need of the services she provides.
