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

When we first looked into the social learning program, we had many questions about what our child would gain from a program such as this. Was the financial commitment one we could afford and what would our son take away from this if we made the sacrifices necessary to participate? I can say with total confidence now, this was worth any monetary price it could have cost. We were caught in a cycle of trying to understand inner feelings while also communicating to him necessary, ever-changing social standards he is expected to adhere to in a multitude of settings. The nuance rules of social engagement have sometimes stared back at us as an insurmountable peak. Steer began the journey with us, equipping us with relatable terms to use with our son, scenarios, conversations. And one week at a time, this daunting task became not just do-able, but enjoyable for us as a family! We have broken a lot of our cycles of “you can’t do that/say that” to discussing it together and witnessing the fruits of the discussions in social settings. This program gave us tools we will use from here forward and I cannot thank this team enough—Chris Steer was an answered prayer for us.
