“Claudia was able to connect and garner trust with our son who was having a difficult time advocating for his needs as a child with dyspraxia. Her ability to establish such a wonderful rapport with him is truly a testimony of her innate ability to understand and adapt to the emotional needs of children in the moment.”

Danielle and Sidney R., Parents

“Claudia Koota is someone who focuses on the whole child. What matters to them...who they are...what makes them tick. She takes the time to figure out how to reach them, then how best to support them and finally how to see the best in themselves. Her energy, knowledge and kind heart provides an amazing support system for the entire family!”

“Claudia has a gift. She is magnetic and the way she speaks and interacts with children is unlike anything I have ever seen before. Her tireless approach is unique to her
disarming style and her incredible vision.  Claudia understands children. She’s fun and they love playing and chatting with her. She’s warm and engaging and always connects with children in a consistent and productive way. Claudia can quickly identify your child’s strengths and weaknesses and will always play to their strengths. She firmly believes in boosting the confidence of every child and coaches you to do the same. She understands every child’s need to be heard and teaches you, the parent, how to really hear your child. As a parent, Claudia coaches you through some of the hardest lessons and moments. She teaches you when to engage and when to keep your mouth shut. She models the language (and behavior) she wants to hear from both you and your child. It’s quite masterful the way she can do both at the same time. Claudia saved our family. We were spiraling and we had lost parental control. She came into our home, sat on the floor with all of us, and guided us back to sanity. She had an unbelievable rapport with my son and related to him in a way no one ever has before.  He trusted her and felt comfortable with her…and she heard him and taught us how to hear him. She coached us week by week and taught us how to be more consistent with our son. She showed us that it’s the little things that matter. Claudia also detected things in my son that I never would have never suspected. Now, a year later, he is in therapy and working on those issues. I could go on and on, but I won’t. I will just say that Claudia is an excellent Family Behaviorist and she did wonders for my family. I am eternally grateful.”
