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

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

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....

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.

The workshops that Frankenberger Associates have provided to our entire faculty and individual teachers has strengthened the professional skills and knowledge of the educators at Woodhall. Connecting theory and practice with an appealing mix of lucidity and common sense, Caryl and her colleagues engaged with our school community in a way that is accessible and applicable.

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

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.

I wish I found this program earlier. My son and I are both so grateful to be here now. Everyone at Frankenberger Associates has been completely amazing! Their process 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 then to have the tools in real tangible step by step guides. I highly recommend Frankenberger Associates to anyone with a child struggling to figure out their social world.
