Our child I-- is autistic and previously has had treatment through Early Intervention. Our first BCBA was T-- and... Shortly after that, BT Y-- joined the team. [Fast Forward] T-- left and BCBA M-- took their place. M-- and Y-- worked very well together, but the main problem was that since M-- was remote and was kind of just another talking head on a laptop, I-- would think it was funny to turn them off. So as helpful as M-- was, it wasn't like having someone in person (I think it's important to add that Y--... Y-- is basically able to handle any situation that comes their way. Just with our kid alone, Y-- has done such a great job. I want to write them a letter of recommendation, but...) In late September of 2022 BCBA K-- took over for M--. The former was able to meet with us and Y-- in person, and it really made a difference. I-- started to improve in everything they measured; and from my observation he improved exponentially. It seemed like every other week it was like "Well, he's mastered this and he's mastered that..." It was like trying to keep up with new things for him to learn/master. K-- and Y-- working together with our son will be the reason why he'll turn out to be the wonderful human being I know he will be (and I know they see it in him too.) It's too bad a misunderstanding led them to be removed from his life...

They are very affordable compared to others, and they have great native speakers for teachers. I have had 3 teachers for different levels, and some others as substitutes. And all their teachers are dynamic and energetic and PATIENT! Especially good for me, because I memorize vocabulary v e r y s l o w l y. The classes are no larger than 8 people so you get really personal attention compared to the universities and colleges. Our class has been studying together for several months and we are now all friends and have attended foreign films together around town and we sometimes bring in snacks for celebrations or special occasions like birthdays etc. I have attended their social celebrations like Day of the Dead and Mexican Independence Day and feel like its a great little community and family at Tierra.

This place is a gift to anyone that has taken Spanish in school and yet never learned it. After 4…read moreyears of Spanish in high school and not absorbing any of it, I was skeptical that I could be taught. My instructor taught us so much, and broke it down into lessons that made the transition so much easier that I'm not only learning Spanish, but I'm enjoying understanding the how's and the why's of the language. All classes are very small (usually no more than 8) which makes it easy to learn, grow, and laugh with each other. I never felt that I couldn't make a mistake or ask a question. The homework is minimal and doesn't usually take more than an hour a week. (Though it's good to make vocab flash cards as you go and keep practicing). Wonderful teachers, quick responces to emails and phone calls.

The restrooms near the testing center are very clean and have a good amount of extra suppliers to get people ready for say, a quick refreshening makeup touch up. The testing center's waiting area is simple. Just a dozen or so chairs and a bunch of lockers to lock your belongings before going to the exam room. It also has a drinking fountain. The exam room is spacious with a dozen or so stations, like cubicles. Well separated for security and quality of testing. The chairs are not that comfortable. I took a long test and spent about 5 hours there. My back was dying, I had to forgo all of my elegance, and slouch and scoot as much as I wanted to shift my postures and be relatively relaxed. The staff are friendly and helpful. Be sure to communicate your needs well, and they are ready to help.

I'd been exploring using NWRC for nearly three years for my son when I finally pulled the trigger…read moreand enrolled him. I'm so grateful I finally made the decision because it's made an even bigger difference than I thought possible! NWRC's team is consistent, conscientious, and detailed. They got to know my son (both through their extensive testing, and also by working so closely with him one on one) and due to their, and his, hard work he finally broke through a number of issues he'd be struggling with when it came to reading. He now reads above grade level and is able to experience more success in other areas of his education as a result of finally having strong reading skills. If you're on the fence, just go ahead and enroll. You absolutely will not regret it.

Grendal, also known as Nicholas Marcelja, is that rarely found breed, a craftsman, an artist, a…read moreteacher, and a man of few words. In his blazing forge and on his ringing anvil, he hammers out a symphony of beautiful handcrafted knives and solid soulful works of iron. He un-self-consciously fits the image to perfection, a large and burly man with a huge gray beard and enormous solid biceps, he appears to have stepped straight out of time. If you want to understand the spirit of the blade, he offers classes in the forging of knives which I found to be rewarding on many levels. He also has a great reputation for teaching children. I can imagine little more exciting and rewarding for a child than to take a class in blacksmithing with Nicholas. It would be something a child would never forget... In fact it was something that I will never forget either.

I had never done any black smithing before and I was worried I would end up with a sad lumpy mess, but Nick is an amazing teacher and really works with you to teach you how to make a knife. I have taken other hands on classes (like glass blowing) where you dont get to actually do anything, but this class you are really learning and getting hands on experience. Because there were 4 of us in the class I was able to start a second knife while the others were using the sander to grind their knives. Nick is obviously super knowledgeable and is happy to explain to you not just how something works, but why. We all walked away with really cool knives and I am looking forward to going back. I highly recommend taking a class at Red Troll Forge!!!!!
