What Parents Say About Mind Matters
"It was a relief to connect with Mind Matters. Our clinician was timely in her responses to all our questions, and both straightforward and supportive about all the findings in the report. Our child enjoyed working with her during testing and we liked working with her too. She manages boundaries nicely and communicated well with us in all aspects of the process. Finally, her report was excellent - concisely written and very informative. Our child's teachers learned a lot from the report. In fact, I feel the report changed the way they viewed my child's capabilities for the better. It was a relief to connect with Mind Matters. I feel like I have a crucial tool in my parent toolbox as I navigate elementary school with two kids."
— Mind Matters Parent
"Our Mind Matters clinicians were so skilled; not only at assessments, but also at ensuring that our child was comfortable and supported. They took time to explain the results and answer our questions, not only professionally but also with the understanding we were parents struggling with the fact that our child may have some learning challenges. The results of the testing helped us make some decisions about school placement, and now our child could not be happier. I cannot recommend them highly enough!"
— Catherine R., Parent
"Dr. Rebecca MurrayMetzger was amazing with my child. She was very responsive on email, patient with my 5-year-old and answered all of our questions. I was uncertain about testing, but our clinician's explanation of the results, along with her knowledge of local schools greatly assisted us in selecting the best options for their learning style. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for IQ testing and/or a student evaluation."
— Tricia B., Parent
"We decided to have our 3.5-year-old get IQ testing for possible private school placement. Thank God we found Dr. MurrayMetzger. Not only did she possess and apply an exemplary degree of skill and knowledge, she was genuine, down to earth, funny, and clearly devoted to what was in the best interest of our specific child and family. Though our time with Dr. MurrayMetzger was short, her help was very meaningful. It was worth every darn cent! I recommend her with heartfelt appreciation to any child and family."
— A Medical Social Worker and Parent
"We will probably never go into another IEP meeting without an advocate. Wow, what a difference. We will go to bed tonight feeling relieved things are headed in the right direction. Thanks for all of your clear articulation, expertise and KINDNESS."
— Parent of a Child with an IEP working with Dr. Rosenblum
