Over the past year, I have worked as a DSP and communication partner with one of Unspoken Thought’s students, and have been amazed by the impact they have had on the student, the student’s family, and myself as a professional! Shannon and her staff excel at providing students with highly individualized instruction and supports, and consistently demonstrate positivity, respect, and an unwavering dedication to helping their students shine. With their RPM support, I watched the student I work with not only pass a college level writing class with flying colors, but gain confidence, pride in their achievements, and a greater sense of independence. On a personal level, Shannon and Natalie have provided invaluable assistance in familiarizing myself with RPM. In less than a year, they helped me move from no RPM experience to more open communication and complex writing assignments with one of their established students. What I admire most about Shannon is that she sees people’s potential and helps them realize it. She encourages students, family, and staff alike to pursue their interests, and create and follow through on actionable goals. Her attention to detail, organization, and personal brand of optimistic realism transform even the most ambitious goals into workable plans with appropriate supports that play to a person’s strengths. Whatever the goal may be, I unreservedly recommend Shannon and her team at Unspoken Thoughts to help reach it!
This place changed my daughters life. She has autism and had stilted communication. Working with these talented and compassionate teachers has helped her improve her conversational skills, become more social and make progress toward a high school diploma. I dont know what we would do without them. Unspoken Thoughts, you are a blessing. Thank you for all you do!
