Phyl has become an indispensable member of our I.E.P. teams. She always communicates her goals clearly and states her expectations in a way that leaves no questions. Phyl has an ability to not only develop individualized programs for students, educators, and family members, but to follow up and monitor members of the team to assure they are meeting the stated expectations . . . In addition, Phyl always puts in writing her expectations and timelines.

I always feel energized after spending time with you! (Our daughter) used her right finger to touch the iPod (on the computer screen) and she was sooooo proud to share her music with her Dad . . . I have never seen her so happy and entranced before. WOW! It was beautiful . . . My heart and soul were smiling all evening long . . .Thank you for sharing these files . . . beautiful and very motivating for (our daughter).

Phyl's leadership has resulted in stronger teams; teams that work well together. She is tireless in her efforts to be sure all team members are 'on board' with a student's . . . program. She recognizes personal talents and personal limits.

Working with you is so easy that I have to say I feel that I have known you for many years. The day flew by and I always had organized next steps to focus the work for the upcoming month. I have learned a tremendous amount this year because you are such a knowledgeable and patient teacher. . . No matter what curve ball was sent your way, you always seemed to hit a home run.

Phyl is a highly motivated and dedicated individual who will go above and beyond what is asked of her. . . She is able to bring not only the highest level of professional skills to a team, but also a part of herself. She is involved with many families and various teams of professionals, yet you always feel that Phyl is there for your team only.

Phyl has a great deal of technical expertise, which is to be expected of a consultant. However, it is the way in which Phyl delivers her services that sets her apart from most other consultants that I have known . . . Phyl's energy and positive attitude (were) evident at the very first meeting that I attended with her. She quickly gains the confidence of parents and professionals alike . . . But most impressive to me is Phyl's ability to empower everyone on the team by delegating responsibility and expecting accountability. She does this by being a respectful listener and requesting input from team members. She never acts like the 'expert.' Phyl's low-keyed, calm and confident manner have produced excellent results in our school district.

Team building is a strong asset of Phyl's. Through respectful attention to each team member, input is sought and valued. During this process, Phyl finds a way to engage even reluctant team members. She simply finds a way for them to make significant contributions doing what they do best.
