- parent of an international student placed in a special school

"We have been continually impressed by Dr. Migden's thoroughness and accessibility. Despite a demanding schedule, Dr. Migden was immediately willing to arrange and re-arrange conference calls, make phone calls, travel a distance to do an on-site evaluation, write any letter we requested, and accomplish all of these tasks promptly and more than competently. We have learned a great deal from Dr. Migden, are in a far stronger position to advocate for our child as a result of our association with Dr. Migden, and look forward to continuing our collaboration with him."
- parent of a child with serious psychiatric illness

"The freshman year is over in three weeks and A has done wonderfully in all aspects of her school life: from pure academics to friendships, from self-advocacy to sports participation. Most importantly is that she realizes it and would not have her high school experience any other way. Thanks for your continued interest."
- parent of a student with a learning disability

"Thank you for the thought and energy you have put into this. The family is lucky to have you as their educational consultant."
- therapist and clinical program manager at a highly regarded residential treatment program


Client Satisfaction Survey Results

Recently, parents who have worked with Dr. Migden have been asked to complete an eight-item survey rating the quality of the educational consulting services they have received from him. They are asked to say whether they strongly agree, agree, are neutral, disagree or strongly disagree with each of eight statements regarding their work with Dr. Migden. Each person responding to the survey has the option of identifying himself or remaining anonymous.

Parents' responses have been very positive. No one has rated any aspect of Dr. Migden's work as negative. In fact, there has been only one negative rating in all of the surveys returned, and that was a rating of a school: one parent, who did not use any of the schools recommended by Dr. Migden and instead found one on her own, described the school recommended by Dr. Migden as not helpful.

The survey is still in its early stages. Eventually, as more survey responses are received, the data will be updated.
