What Our Referring Partners Say About Beyond BookSmart
As Director of LEAP at MGH, my staff and I rely on allied professionals to carry out our recommendations. I have found the professionals at Beyond BookSmart to be among the very best at implementing executive function coaching. Their services are incredibly individualized, their staff extremely well-trained, and their treatment incorporates the best of current research. We recommend Beyond BookSmart frequently, and the feedback from families has been nothing but positive.
Ellen Braaten, Ph.D.
Director, LEAP at Massachusetts General Hospital
One of the most common challenges for students I evaluate is executive functioning. Deficits can appear in children with AD/HD, learning disabilities, language delays, or in isolation. Some students have clear deficits on office tests that translate into everyday difficulties; others show good skills on tests but cannot implement them in real life. Understanding both is essential to planning. I recommend Beyond BookSmart to help students overcome EF challenges that limit planning, organization, task initiation, and self-monitoring, so they can function more independently and with less stress.
Dominick Auciello, Psy.D.
Envisage Neuropsychology, NY
As a clinical psychologist specializing in EF challenges and learning differences, I’m always looking for organizations to support intervention needs. I’ve been very pleased with Beyond BookSmart’s services and impressed with their individualized model based on current research, and their refreshing professionalism. I recommend Beyond BookSmart as a reputable and trustworthy organization for any family seeking support for children and teens.
