“Susan is able to find ways to help all kinds of kids, especially those who are unique and may not be able to have their needs met by the system. Because of her special insights, strategies and alternatives, she’s the one I refer children to who just aren’t succeeding with conventional approaches. Having known Susan for nearly fifteen years, I can recommend her without reservation.”
Phil Cott, Principal, Webster Elementary School

"Susan Stiffelman's presentation on How to Help Your Child with Frustration and Adaption was terrific. Her experience as an educator enabled her to teach us parents simple and usable approaches that my husband and I can use to "correct our course" and help our easily frustrated 9 year old daughter to develop the resilience she will need as she moves into adulthood."
