Our family was struggling through an extremely difficult time
supporting our daughter, Rebecca, through one of the most challenging times
of her life. Claudette's
unwavering commitment to our daughter's well being involved a family-centered
team approach, enhanced by Claudette's unique knowledge and experience supporting
someone with such complex needs. We now have a foundation of support
strategies that have grown and developed along with Rebecca and the problem-solving
tools in place if we ever find ourselves in a similar situation.

As a social worker who has worked closely with Claudette, it has been a privilege, and a comfort, to work in partnership with her. I was always able to trust in her abilities and know that her involvement is holistic in nature and skill-building in its intent. —Dona Camara, Social Worker, formerly with the Ministry of Children and Family Development
My daughter was forced to change schools in a middle of a year
due to problems created by her behaviour. Claudette's professional and very
friendly, very constructive approach to the situation eased my stress. We have
continued to keep in touch with Claudette and from time to time we discuss
and devise new ways to support my daughter to learn proper behaviour in new-for-her
situations; Claudette’s presence, advice and support were immeasurably
helpful when we went through the process of finding the right college for her.
I would never hesitate to call on Claudette's knowledge and support in any
situation which requires professional and friendly support and assistance.

I worked with Claudette while supporting a young woman who was going through
a difficult time. Claudette was able to provide support to the team by bringing
us together to work as a unit. The strategies she shared were individual-focused
and have continued to be implemented and expanded on over the past 4 years.
The tools she shared were a foundation to a way of life that is meaningful
for this young woman.
