Review for A Vision To Empower, Springfield Gardens, NY, USA
My started going to A Vision to Empower about a year ago when he was in the 3rd grade. I was referred to Ebony Woods by someone who works with the DOE.
My son attends Success Academy. They were attempting to get him special education resources. After the review with the DOE he did not qualify, which was fine with me. What he needed was tutoring. He began to attend tutoring with A Vision to Empower. Over a few weeks we began to see improvement. He was confident and that was something he lacked.
I didn’t want him to lose everything over the summer so he continued to attended A Vision to Empower just before this school year. He was given a reading assessment to see what his reading level was in late September. He was 2 reading levels ahead! We were so excited. I felt like the school counted my son out. I felt like they were using him to get THEM extra resources. But he wasn’t just a number to Mrs. Ebony. She cares. He knows it and I know it.
My son enjoys his sessions. He is sure of himself now. I tried everything I could to help him. A Vision to Empower was what he needed.
