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.

Matthew Woodhall, Head of School, Woodhall 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....

I wish I found this Social Skills program earlier, but my son and I are both so grateful to be here now. Everyone at Frankenberger Associates has been completely amazing! Their process of utilizing real life actionable teaching has been life changing. There truly is nothing more rewarding than seeing your child “understand” the value of friendships and having the tools to help him utilize them in real tangible step by step guides. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Traci, Parent

All seems to be progressing well, small changes leading to better overall functioning, less anxiety and more productivity are the goals being addressed. Looking forward to continued improvement.

Parent

I cannot speak more highly of their programming. I am both a mental health professional and mom of an ASD kiddo. It is expensive, but it is money well spent. Additionally, the overall cost is comparable to what you would spend in an average market for a therapist who does private pay. We are hoping to continue on with their services after our 14-week program is over. As a mom, I highly recommend this because of the growth I’ve seen in my son and the tools I’ve gained. As a professional, I have no qualms about referring folks to them.

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

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...

I'm so glad I took the Understanding Diverse Learning Profiles course. It introduced some ideas that were new to me, and also brought clarity and cohesion to ideas that I had picked up along the way, but didn’t have a context for. I gained greater fluency in the concepts and terminology that my colleagues in learning support use routinely, so I’m now better prepared to engage in meaningful conversation with them about how our school supports students. The readings and videos were varied and thought-provoking, and the regular meetings with the cohort and the instructors were helpful, motivating, and fun! The...

Becky Amis, Director of Admissions, St. Edmunds Academy

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

I have had the pleasure of learning from Caryl Frankenberger for almost fifteen years, witnessing firsthand her expertise and unwavering commitment to neurodiverse learners. Caryl has the ability to make complex concepts about learning and cognitive development accessible—a skill I first observed in 2010 during one of her presentations, where she captivated a packed auditorium of educators with ease. Her work has left a lasting impact on me and countless others, empowering students, families, and professionals with the tools and understanding they need to thrive in their strengths.
