What clients are saying:

About Linda:

I have one simple recommendation...contact the Gifted Development Center in Denver (Dr. Linda Silverman).She understands gifted, LD, visual spatial learners....she covers the spectrum. Understand that while there are several very knowledgeable people in these fields.........there is none that has the experience, background, or research that Dr. Silverman does. Her most important quality/expertise is her passion for caring about these children and their families.

About Allie:

It's amazing to me that I have been to multiple doctors...Psychiatrists, Psychologists, Neurologists and Pediatricians for 6 years now to try and get some help for J, not to mention the thousands of dollars we have spent trying to get some answers, and after a 1-hour phone conversation with you I feel like I FINALLY have some answers! THANKS SO MUCH!

About Linda Leviton:

My daughter spent about an hour with Linda in a playlike setting that she thoroughly enjoyed - in fact, she was disappointed when it was over! Linda's conclusions were valuable to us; we now have a better understanding of the task at hand and feel less "panicked" about which course to take."
