Success Stories


"We are so happy with our experience with The Yellin Center. From my first phone call --  I could tell that the Center was different. I spoke with five other organizations -- but the initial phone conversations I had with The Yellin Center were so helpful -- I knew immediately that I was dealing with an organization that is truly values-driven (and I've been in education for over 17 years - so I know the difference).  Dr. Yellin was SO reassuring and positive in regard to our son. The consult had a big impact on me, as a parent."

"Thanks to you, John has turned an enormous corner.  He is making progress in every subject. Math has always a been a struggle - but yesterday he got a 98 on the midterm. Thanks for helping us –he can't wait to see you again to help get ready for 11th grade."

"Thank you so much for all the time and thought you put into our daughter's evaluation.  We feel so lucky to have such a great team of people helping her set up for success this year."

--Parent of elementary student

"Our son is no longer frustrated and unhappy and pushing us to the limit. He is coping better with the rigors of school, he is much nicer to his sister and he sleeps better than he ever has. I was amazed by our time with you and the team but if I am honest I was not confident it would result in positive change.  It has, more than we could have ever imagined, and we are grateful. "

"Before I started working with you, I was afraid I didn't belong in medical school. Last week, I got a 90 on a physiology exam; my highest grade since starting medical school. Now I believe that I can realize my dream to become a doctor.  Thank you."

"This is the best report we've ever seen.  It is clear and very specific. Now I feel that we understand James as a learner.  More importantly, we know what to do to help.  Thank you for taking the time to speak with us and for your offer to speak again if we need help." 

--Elementary School Teacher

"We can't thank you enough for helping us figure out how his Tim's mind works. Your help and report have opened the eyes of his school and hopefully will help other kids like him.  The school has completely embraced your suggestions and is willing to help Tim in any way possible.  Thanks again for everything."
