What Families & Professionals Are Saying

“My son has worked with Katie as his teacher in grade school and then as his BCBA at his adult transition program. He also worked with Heather when she was a teaching assistant at his high school.

These women are passionate about helping children and adults with special needs. They are smart, dependable, and caring. I would highly recommend their company!”

“I have had the distinct privilege of working alongside Heather Dickinson and Katie Teresi for over ten years in our shared roles as educators and Board Certified Behavior Analysts. They both represent the highest standard of compassion and care in improving the lives of the children, young adults, and families they serve.

Katie’s approach to behavior analysis is both deeply clinical and incredibly human. She excels at partnering with families to identify and build upon a student's unique strengths, ensuring that every goal is meaningful and socially significant.

Heather is a passionate advocate for her students, balancing high expectations with a supportive environment that allows students to thrive.

Together and individually, they are exemplary professionals who have dedicated their lives to helping students succeed and grow.”

— Dan Hennigan, M.Ed., M.A., Ed.M., BCBA

“I have had the privilege of working closely with Heather for several years as a special education teacher, and I can say without hesitation that she is an exceptional BCBA.

Her depth of knowledge is matched by her ability to apply it thoughtfully, ethically, and with genuine compassion. She takes the time to listen, collaborate, and explain the ‘why’ behind her recommendations, empowering teachers and teams rather than overwhelming them.

As a parent, her impact has been even more meaningful. She approaches families with empathy, respect, and a deep understanding of how personal this work can be.

Any family or school that works with Heather will gain a knowledgeable, dedicated, and compassionate advocate who truly cares about making a lasting difference.”

— Ashley Lythberg, M.Ed.

“I cannot speak highly enough about Heather’s classroom management and team leadership. Her knowledge and ability to apply research-based behavioral science practically in a classroom setting is second to none.

Combined with her warmth, creativity, patience, and calm demeanor, she is an absolute asset for any school or family.

Heather establishes clear expectations and structured routines that allow students to transition successfully and thrive in their environments. She also builds strong staff capacity, ensuring interventions are implemented consistently and effectively.

Any organization or family partnering with Heather will benefit from her expertise, leadership, and compassionate approach.”

— Assistant Principal of Special Education

“My son has had an IEP for several years, and I often felt overwhelmed and hopeless during meetings and updates.

After reaching out to Heather for advice, everything changed. She listened, supported me during my son’s annual meeting, and provided insight, guidance, and real solutions.

I left that meeting feeling relief, and shortly after, I received a call from the school sharing exciting progress.

All thanks to Heather and her dedication to making things right.”
