Testimonials about our Executive Function Skills Workshops

"Listening to Michael Delman at a recent Parent’s Association meeting for our daughter’s private school was definitely a learning experience. Thank goodness there was a handout to accompany his presentation because I couldn’t take notes fast enough! Everything he touched upon made so much sense and he simplified the most difficult tasks. In the short time he was there, Michael provided us with valuable tools and strategies that we, as parents, could use to help our children approach their challenges in school and actually in life. Everyone in the group was so engaged and writing down the phone number for his company! Most productive meeting ever!"

Lisa Altman, mother of 9th grader at Dana Hall School
