“Having a learning disability poses extra problems for students seeking a college match. Your ability to find colleges for Dan with good LD support plus location, athletics, and a good social environment was very important to us.”

— Parents of a student with a learning disability    

“We decided to work with Estelle because we trusted her and wanted an independent, “level head” to give expertise about the overwhelming world of the college application process.

Estelle was a great help to all of us, especially in developing the final list of schools, giving input on her essay and activities list, and helping to ensure that she was on track with deadlines.

Working “long distance” was easy. We used e-mails to stay connected, combined with periodic conference calls and occasional face-to-face meetings. Actually because of the ease and convenience of electronic communications, we could have accomplished this without ever having a face to face meeting.”

 "I just wanted to express my gratitude for all you've done for me—setting up interviews and spending hours helping
me decide my future."
