    Hadassa has played a huge part over the years in helping my child and I navigate IEP's , educating…read moreus on our rights and also showing us the benefits available though the Department of Rehabilitation even after high school! I am thankful everyday. She is someone who has an eye for detail and discrepancy. The kind of person you want on your side helping you advocate for your child. She is direct and no nonsense and not everyone is comfortable with always hearing the truth. You don't end up in her office because everything is going well. Most parents like myself try our hardest to advocate for our own children. Sounds simple right ? Have you ever been bullied by educators , your opinion disregarded, told no to what your child actually needs to learn ? I have. Hadassa is making a change and standing up for children worth every dime. She is a gift.

    I'm not quite sure where to begin. This was an emotional roller coaster spanning quite a few months…read moreand I'm sure I'll live with some considerable psychological sequelae from it all for the foreseeable future. This is someone who is adept at playing manipulative emotional games with frustrated, vulnerable people; disabled people and caregivers at the end of their rope who feel lost in the shuffle. At first, it felt like she "got" me in a way I had never experienced with a service provider. Slowly, she started to feel more and more like the coolest aunt ever, and maybe even a friend. It felt like I could tell her anything and like it was us against the world. Professional boundaries eroded incrementally enough that it was hard to notice until things had long since gotten out of hand and some kind of twisted bond made it all feel that much worse to confront. Meetings got longer and longer, and later and later. More and more gossip about other clients started to slip and in increasing levels of detail. She even started to float the idea of us taking an overnight road trip together with her child, who she highly recommended for me to hire as a service provider alongside her, possibly staying with some of her family, and it just felt wrong. Since this trip would have been for a conference relevant to my disability, I said that I would rather say with my own family in the area of the conference and was thinking about taking a long-distance train, but she kept pushing. I was exposed to some things I shouldn't have been and in hindsight, it also felt like she also could have kept her immediate family much more separate from what we were doing. Her mastery of the finer points of love bombing, empty promises, and future faking toward someone who has faced lifelong social rejection and difficulty navigating institutions made it way too easy for me to overlook how little she actually got done in the time I was her client. She was really good at keeping me thinking that something she could unlock or facilitate was always just right around the corner, but that there was always some unexpected roadblock or way that something turned out to be very different than initially claimed. I gave her the benefit of the doubt for way too long. That provider she said she had an "in" to couldn't get back to her week after week. I needed to get just one more document ready before she could help me with that form. Suddenly that person she was going to introduce me to doesn't work somewhere anymore. She was always "so sorry" to misgender me after several months of corrections. And just when I would begin to be able to feel some weird feelings about things or wonder if certain things needed to take the time that they did, she would benevolently employ DARVO to make me question whether I was being reasonable, and whether my disability was actually to blame for how things were going. It felt like tough love, with an eerie veneer of a gentle, caring correction from a parent, while insidiously chipping away at my basically nonexistent self-esteem. I was in school at the time and started to catch myself getting in the habit of feeling like I was beneath my classmates and didn't really belong in my program. There was a cycle of putting me up on a pedestal, showering me with frequent compliments on my intelligence and overall character. She implied to me that I was basically "one of the good ones" with my qualifying condition. She convinced me that she cared deeply about the rights of disabled people and admired my family. Then it was followed by "reminders" that if she could just find certain services for me, my disability wouldn't be "in the way" as much, that I was "more difficult" than her other clients, and even giving advice that discouraged me from pursuing certain goals before she could "find" certain providers for me. Often, me catching her making a small mistake or not doing something set off her more critical, pathologizing side. The scary thing is that until a few months ago, she would have easily gotten five stars from me. I'm just glad there have been no financial consequences for me since I paid her using my SDP funds. Don't let her make you think she's someone she's not.

    When discussing my 10th grader's school schedule, who happens to have a 504 Plan and an IEP, she…read morespontaneously originated the following... "Mom, I do really well at Learn Beyond the Book. I've been getting all A's there. They understand if I don't get something right away. They work with me and they care about me." As parents, at least for me, I often wonder if I'm doing the right thing. With Elmarie and her experienced, dedicated, and talented staff, I can rest well knowing that I got this part [my child's education] right. I can't recommend any of the campuses and online classes enough.

    This has been my son's homeschool learning center for years and we absolutely LOVE it! I can't…read morebelieve I haven't left a review before! Elmarie who owns and runs it is so kind, patient and helpful. She always is so responsive to any questions I may have. She hires such fun, easy going, excellent teachers that really care about the students. There are so many really cool, unique, engaging classes, that sometimes it's hard to decide which to take! You can take just one class or many classes. You're sure to find something your student will be interested in. They also have one on one tutors in some subjects. They have basic and required academics like Math, Science, ELA, History, Social Studies and more. From Kindergarten up to High School classes for full credit, even foreign languages. They can change from semester to semester, due to teachers avail and interest. Many of the teachers have been teaching there for years. My son has taken some of these awesome classes over the years: Music theory, Science, Math Movement, Fencing, Skateboarding, Basketball, History through Minecraft, California History, Readers Theaters, Lego Robotics, Coding, English, Jedi training, Cooking, Yoga, ASL and so many more. When my son needed an educational aide to assist him due to his learning challenges, they were fine with it and so supportive of her being there. All his teachers were. He never felt uncomfortable or out of place. She even told us what a great place it is also. The families and kids that attend are all so nice and accepting. I have never seen any bullying or mean spirted kids. It's very inclusive of all kinds of kids. We've made such great friends. I wish I could have gone to a place like LBB! We currently attend the beautiful Northridge location that has a big grassy yard and playground and the site managers there are just great with the kids. I trust them and feel so safe and calm to leave him there during the day and know when I pick him up, he'll have loads to share. The other locations are great too. We started here in 1st grade and after the pandemic my son wanted to try a private school with some other homeschool pals, but after the second year there we left because it was a bad environment, filles us with anxiety and dread and not what they claimed to be. So we went back to LBB. They welcomed him with open arms! On the 2nd day back our son said he felt comfortable, relaxed and that he can be more himself at Learn Beyond the Book. So glad we returned! Our son had his middle school graduation here at their end of year presentation. Yes. They give out diplomas, get school pictures and yearbooks too. They also have fun field trips, dances, game nights, pot lucks and other school community events. He's with a homeschool charter that we get funds for to pay for classes which is a bonus. He's in High School now and is learning so much. We've found his "school" and are here until he graduates High School! I urge you to check it out if brick and mortar "normal" schools aren't working for your family. Why should our kids be so stressed out and full of anxiety over school? There is a better way and place! My son has so much more confidence now, less worries and less homework and no anxiety! He feels so accepted here. We're so grateful to Elmarie and the whole staff at Learn Beyond the Book.
