Our Mission

At Frankenberger Associates, our mission is to empower individuals of all ages with the tools, strategies, and confidence they need to thrive—academically, socially, emotionally, and professionally. We are committed to delivering highly personalized, strengths-based support through expert coaching, assessment, and collaboration. By meeting each client where they are and honoring their unique learning profile, we help turn challenges into growth and potential into progress.

Our Story: A Legacy of Empowerment

Frankenberger Associates was founded in 1987 by Caryl Frankenberger, a passionate psychoeducational diagnostician who wanted to understand and support students with learning differences. What began as a small practice focused on diagnosing learning challenges quickly became more comprehensive.

As Caryl worked with families, she recognized their struggles beyond just diagnosis. She realized that these families truly needed personalized, practical solutions to empower their children. This insight led to the expansion of Frankenberger Associates into a full-fledged Learning Solutions Center.

Our deeply individualized approach has positively impacted thousands of students and their families, fostering academic and social success. We remain committed to our founding principle: ensuring every student has the tools they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

Our Approach: Turning Challenges into Strengths

At Frankenberger Associates, we specialize in personalized support for children, teens, and adults navigating executive function challenges, learning differences, ADHD, and social-emotional needs. Our approach is rooted in customization—because meaningful progress starts with understanding the individual. Every client receives a plan tailored to their learning profile, strengths, challenges, and real-world goals. We combine evidence-based strategies with practical coaching to strengthen skills like attention, task initiation, time management, organization, emotional regulation, and social communication. Whether it’s a student struggling to stay on top of schoolwork or an adult seeking a career change or greater structure and focus in daily life, we’re here to help clients build confidence, independence, and long-term success.

Trusted by Genius People

Frankenberger Associates has had the privilege of helping thousands of families, schools, and students transform their learning experience.

This course was exactly what I needed to feel more confident in my role as Director of Academic Support. The modules were comprehensive and practical with supporting materials to reinforce the topics. The fact that I can continue to access the videos and readings upon completing the course has been a fantastic resource for me. All educators would benefit from this course.

Leslie Creus, Director of Academic Support/EAl Department Head, EF Academy

I am thrilled to share my experience after receiving my certificate from Frankenberger Associates in Understanding Diverse Learning Profiles. This course has truly transformed my approach to working with prospective and current families, as well as lower and middle school faculty, learning support staff, and administration. The valuable tools and insights I gained have deepened my understanding of diverse learning profiles, allowing me to speak confidently and knowledgeably about my candidates. This has fostered trust and collaboration within our community, making a significant impact on our partnerships. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to admission professionals and anyone involved in supporting students....

Helen Williams, Director of Admission Pre-Kindergarten-Grade 8, Rutgers Preparatory Prep

Eagle Hill School and I personally have worked with Frankenberger Associates for over twenty years, and I have enjoyed and benefited greatly from our incredibly long and strong relationship. Caryl Frankenberger is a trusted and knowledgeable colleague and friend. Many years ago, Caryl gave a presentation to the EHS faculty on cognitive testing, and to this day, I am grateful to Caryl for this presentation. I have worked with Caryl and have likely read more than 100 of her evaluations in considering her clients for EHS. Caryl’s evaluations are well-written and help the reader to get...

Dana Harbert, Director of Admissions – Eagle Hill School

Thank you so much for setting my husband up with such a fantastic coach! I have observed his organization, task initiation, and vulnerability increase exponentially. The classes have been so helpful, and he told me tonight that he will be signing up for more sessions. He is starting a new job and wants to make sure he does not fall into the same habits that have hindered his success before.

Spouse

My student, while a relatively new client of Frankenberger Associates, is already finding work with his coach to be helpful and effective.

Joan Wittan, College Consulting Collaborative

I loved this course and wish everyone at Middlebridge could take it. For folks entering into the profession or looking to have an update on learning challenges the videos and supplementary readings were on point. I loved the processing speed and working memory videos as so often people do not realize how this impacts the learner. The EF video was excellent and tangible as was the strategies for teachers. It is very rare when you have PD with actual strategies offered. I loved the evaluation section, and the questions to be posed by admissions professionals and teachers in the classroom...

Sara Callahan, Academic Dean, Middlebridge School

Understanding Diverse Learning Profiles is a wonderful study of student learning profiles, misconceptions, types of assessments to determine how students learn, reading psychoeducational testing reports, and classroom supports. It is a course that brings together the needs and perspectives of the admission team, classroom educators, and learning support professionals to create a stronger student success model. As a veteran admission professional, it provided me with insight to better understand the needs of our applicants and students. I am much more confident in my ability to read and understand testing reports and how a learning profile may present in the classroom....

Dawn Hopke, Associate Director of Enrollment Management, Flint Hill School

This 6-module online certificate course is the best training I have ever participated in. As an IEC who provides high school and college consulting for students who have specific learning, cognitive and/or developmental challenges, the course deepened my understanding of learning challenges, and my ability to read and interpret evaluations. I developed new questioning techniques to discern my students' learning strengths, average abilities, and challenges. I watched videos and read the supplemental articles on my own timeline, there was no pressure. Quite simply, this course was a game changer for me and I think it will be the same for...

Amy J. Brown, M.Ed. and Independent Educational Consultant, Educational Transitions Consulting

You have been an incredible resource for my son these past two years. I can’t believe how much he has learned and how much his confidence has grown. Thank you for being so kind and such a good teacher.

Parent

I am so happy I took the 6 module Understanding Diverse Learning Profile course. I am an Executive Assistant working at Frankenberger Associates and I wanted to take the course to better understand FA’s services. The course was outstanding. From the perspective of someone who is a parent, and not an educator, I gained an enormous amount of knowledge about executive functioning, social skills, evaluation and brain training. I learned about the intricacies of understanding student learning profiles and I loved the videos about working memory, processing speed, ADHD and Dyslexia. Learning about the brain was fascinating and I left...
