I want to thank you for your work with my twins when they met with you at MPMS and then attended your camp and learned how to self organize. Every year I was taken aside at the first parent meeting and was solemnly informed they had ADD. This propelled me to you, via your common sense presentations in Marin schools as part of Parent Education, and (our neuro-psych’s recommendation). They were euphoric about all the tools you introduced them to. They loved how he felt in greater control of his life. I am very grateful for the tools and positivity you were able to impart to us all. -B.M.S., Marin
