“Iris supported me with my accommodations and much more during middle school, high school and college, allowing me to focus on being a student. She found me the best tutors and was always there when I needed help. She found a study abroad program in Italy that I loved! Iris came to Orange County for some of my school meetings, which was invaluable.” – Student, Orange County
“Iris’ presence at our IEP meetings gave me the courage to advocate for my child. I’m so grateful she was there to prepare me and to answer my questions. It felt like having a doula, but an educational doula, by my side.” – Parent, Santa Cruz
“Iris helped me find an excellent educational psychologist. I appreciated knowing that the doctor was vetted and had worked closely with Iris in the past.” – Parent, Santa Cruz
“Iris helped me get into graduate school! She reviewed my applications and assisted me with editing my papers.” – MAT Student, Santa Cruz
“I was a childcare provider who worked with two children who received academic support from Iris. I was responsible for taking them to their appointments with her. She was very sweet with the children and friendly with me. As their care provider, I could tell they felt comfortable, excited, and ready to learn during their appointments. I recommend Iris highly for elementary children needing academic assistance.” – Childcare Provider, Santa Cruz
Iris helped me with changing my major, selecting classes, and ensuring I have everything I need to transfer from my community college to a UC!” – College Student, Santa Cruz
