  • To Maria: “I feel like we have our daughter back!! Words cannot express how grateful we are for all the support and guidance you have provided her over the past school year. I can say for certain she is in a much different and better place because of you. You truly have a gift for helping people!”

    Parent Testimonial for Maria

  • "Mikaila is kind of wonderful. First she reminds us what our child is doing well. Second she supports us in helping him understand what we are telling him. She is part of our son's team".

    Parent Testimonial for Mikaila

  • “Giovanna has been truly exceptional in helping our 9 year-old son to improve his executive functioning skills. She has been patient and supportive throughout all the coaching sessions. Giovanna has taken the time to get to know our son, his weaknesses and strengths. She has taken what she has learned about him and has discovered ways to improve his focus and organization through checklists and has also shown him techniques to improve his willingness to be flexible. We really appreciate everything she has done.”

    Parent testimonial for Giovanna

  • To Giovanna: "Thank you for everything. I wouldn’t have been able to do this without you. Your guidance, help, encouragement, and compassion has meant the world. You have no idea how much you changed my life. Having someone who was so supportive and not judgmental but still pushed me was exactly what I needed. You have such a gift for helping people and I’m so lucky that I got to have that gift. I was really scared I wasn’t ever going to finish high school and now I’m done!!"

    Student Thank you to Giovanna

  • “I wanted to give you and your team a huge THANK YOU for everything you have done for my son. It really is remarkable. His grades have turned around, he is no longer overwhelmed by what he has to do and actually has a handle on what needs to be done and by when. The coaches and body doubles have been simply wonderful. He and I don’t argue about his work, I follow up based on what I hear from Giovanna and somehow that doesn’t cause friction. Because of Bek, Giovanna, and Monique, he has thrived.”

    Parent testimonial for Giovanna, Monique, and Bek

  • "You may remember coaching me 2+ years ago..I've been feeling the need to reach out and express my true gratitude for how much you helped change my attitude and organization. I shifted from struggling mentally and academically to accepting my differences and not letting them get in the way of my success. After my short time with you, I went on to take full advantage of my resources and actually finished my last two years of high school in stellar standing. I am now a freshman at JMU and continue to be thankful for the help I received and the skills that I learned from you. "

    Student thank you to Crista

  • "Working with Connected Pathways was such an amazing and eye opening experience. I learned so much about how I can better work with my children and how to set realistic expectations for improvements. Before working with CP, I had an entirely unrealistic expectations about what my children should/could be doing. CP really helped me to understand the ADHD brain and how I can help my children succeed. The services they offer are invaluable!"
