Success Stories
"What's a parent to do when a child doesn't get along at school, can't sit still and can't read, but doesn't have diagnosable ADHD or dyslexia? We turned to the Child Success Network for answers. Adrea Unitis created a personalized learning profile and developed techniques that could be used one on one, in the classroom, and at home. She also taught our child social skills that enabled him to make friends at school."
- Parents of 2nd grader
"With consultation and training from Adrea Unitis, our school was able to implement learning strategies to help failing students. We brought her in because we feared a large percentage of our 8th graders would not be ready for high school. After assessing a sampling of students, she formed a multidisciplinary student support team. She explained how these students learn, what kind of instructions they need and how to capitalize on their strengths. Our teachers also learned how to communicate more effectively with students and parents."
