Anna has always encouraged our son in a way that empowered and inspired him.

Anna worked extremely well with our family to understand the goals and targets we had for our son, all the while advising us of the key areas our son needed support. We were provided with an in-depth and extremely useful assessment and educational recommendations. Anna has always encouraged our son in a way that empowered and inspired him.
