Testimonials About We See Different

“I am the grandmother of two beautiful girls who were diagnosed with LCA; a child eye disease that results in vision loss. The 8-year-old is in the IEP program of the public school system. I felt hopeless and frustrated when I realized that the written IEP goals were not being achieved. After contacting several organizations for the blind, I was eventually referred to Elena at We See Different. Elated by Elena’s empathy, it has been a transformative experience working with her. She has empowered me with the knowledge about what IEP is about and what my granddaughter is legally entitled to.”
