“Katy’s words, ‘You need to do your heart work,’ set in motion my own radical changes. Her power to teach and connect with an audience and professionals is amazing.”

“I was immediately struck by Katy’s charisma and the passion she so naturally exuded for what she did. I flew to Massachusetts just to learn whatever I could from her. I had recently started my private practice and knew that anything she would teach was going to help me on my journey.”

“Katy is a life force of pure love and insight. I have used so many of the concepts which she created and then demonstrated at the workshop that I attended. I even used her concept of her ‘Friendship Sequence’ (friendship pyramid on its side) in a much needed IEP goal. Katy is the paradigm shift.”

“Katy speaks (and teaches) from a point of view focused on what kids with social learning challenges need- caring guidance, empathy, and practical and organic strategies.”

“I have personally known Katy to be a light in our field of social cognition and interventions for the past 13 years. Katy’s passion for uncovering a child’s strengths as a means for lighting the way towards meaningful change and awareness has always been something I as a professional have admired about her understanding of one’s learning and behavioral presentation. Her realistic approach to social problem-solving, educating neurodiverse learners, and equipping parents with everyday tools they can use at home are reasons why I consider her someone who can spark change in our clients, students, and the community at large.”
