What Our Clients Are Saying

"I can't say enough about what Kelly has done for my family. Navigating the world of special education can be overwhelming and was an emotional experience for me and my family. Kelly was able to bring an immediate sense of calm and organization, helping us clearly understand what our son was entitled to. Her positive attitude, coupled with her impressive expertise, helped us secure the services we needed to set my son up for success for years to come. I will forever be grateful for her guidance, availability at all times, and dedication to my family." -Lynnfield mother of two 

Very useful PD. Kelly is super nice, knowledgeable and has like a contagious passion about her work. Can she come work here - like as a permanent GLTS coach? I want more PD (with her) for our entire department - to help us further with our IEP development, progress monitoring, and also for our entire faculty - to remind all of our teachers of the components / requirements of special education.

Kelly is awesome! Very informative session yesterday. 

I thought that the PD yesterday was fantastic!  Kelly did a great job of keeping us engaged, which can be difficult on a zoom meeting and allowing us time to reflect on our own practices away from the screen too. I would also love to have her come in and present to the entire department -

I enjoyed listening to Kelly.  She had many best practices ideas...  She would be great teaching PD for our department.  Definitely engaging.  

Kelly was a very down to earth, realistic presenter. Because of her demeanor, our staff was able to ask difficult questions and show their vulnerability.

"Working with Kelly Mertens over the past several years has been a gift for my family.  My husband and I are forever grateful for the sound guidance she has given us in navigating the processes of special education and supports in the public school setting." - Danvers resident

"Kelly explained the complicated issues about special education in a way I understand... Finally! " - satisfied parent of a 5th, 7th and 8th grader.
