KIND WORDS
What Our Clients Are Saying
Our daughter, at eight years old, was newly diagnosed with RP (Retinitis Pigmentosa). Before finding We See Different, we were lost regarding school, the next steps, and any other services that might be available to us. We didn’t know where to begin. Elena confidently guided us through our IEP meeting, connected us to local resources, helped us meet other parents like us, and learn about community-based support. We feel much more empowered now and are grateful to have such a capable, compassionate person by our side, especially someone with lived experience.
