    • Testimonials

      "Educational therapy and working with Dr. Olvera has been an asset to our family. Dr. O's approach to helping each of our boys to recognize within themselves their strengths and talents has made possible the development of a comprehensive educational plan that allows them to grow not only educationally but also emotionally and socially. Whether it's for our oldest son preparing for college, or our youngest son on the spectrum for Autism, Educational Therapy has been beneficial, rewarding, and enlightening. As a parent it has helped me to recognize how to help my boys meet the challenges of an educational system that does not readily understand the uniqueness of each individual student." ~ Laura Posson

      "My husband and I use Dr. Olvera's InterActive speech techniques at home and with our employees. It eliminates the need to repeat yourself and allows the person you are speaking with to take responsibility for their own actions. This has more than improved our lives because it promotes cooperation and ownership for better behavior and teamwork." ~ Mike & Becky F.

      "My wife and I went to see Dr. Olvera six months ago to seek help for our son who has been diagnosed with ADHD. Through InterActive speech, I have learned how to talk to my kids in a way that gets them to look at situations differently. I no longer tell them what to do; I get them to tell me what they need to do, and then they do it. Arguments have been diffused, and they are more independent. Dr. O has been a blessing to our family." ~ Greg M.

      "I have been working with Dr. Olvera on and off for seven years now. One of Dr. Olvera's most important assets to me is her ability to understand and explain the educational processes of any school -- her ability to point out exactly what each of my children will need from their education and ultimately from their school. I expect our relationship will continue as the needs of my children change. We have been blessed to have Dr. Olvera be a part of our lives." ~ Gail Marcum

      "Dr. O's influence on my children and myself has been life altering. She understands how the brain works and is able to help a child recognize their strengths and how to use them. Not just in school, but all aspects of their lives. She is endlessly encouraging and with her wonderful sense of humor she brings about positive changes for kids and their families." ~ Julie Schultz
