What our parents are saying…
“Tara has been nothing short of a miracle for our family. When we were searching for a tutor for my high-support-needs son, we knew we needed someone who was patient, understanding, neuroaffirming, and compassionate - and Tara has gone above and beyond every expectation. She takes the time to truly see my son for who he is, meeting him exactly where he’s at developmentally, and creates a safe encouraging space for him to learn and grow.
In such a short amount of time, we’ve seen tremendous progress. He is not only gaining academic skills, but also building confidence, developing independence, and finding joy in learning- something we weren’t sure we’d ever see. Tara’s kindness and dedication have given us so much hope for the future.
Having her on our team feels like have a true partner in our child’s trajectory who believes in my son as much as we do. She celebrates every milestone with us and gives him the tools to succeed in a way that feels both empowering and sustainable. We are forever grateful for the love, patience, and expertise she brings into our lives.”

Working with Tara has truly been a game changer for my son, L. He has autism, and finding the right support for him hasn’t always been easy but Tara has made such a meaningful difference in his academic journey.
From the very beginning, she has been incredibly patient, understanding, and intentional in how she works with him. She takes the time to meet him where he is, uses strategies that keep him motivated and engaged, and creates an environment where he feels comfortable and successful. Because of that, we’ve seen so much growth, not just academically, but in his confidence and willingness to try.
Before working with Tara, learning could be very overwhelming for L. Now, he is more open to participating, more engaged during lessons, and proud of what he accomplishes. That shift has been huge for our family.
Tara is also very communicative, flexible, and genuinely cares about her students and their progress. It’s clear this is more than just a job to her.
We are so grateful for the support she’s given L, and I would highly recommend her to any family looking for someone who is both skilled and compassionate.

“Tara is amazing! She got to know my kiddo and I through a mutual friend at a time that we really needed an advocate for my son in his school! With only 24-48 hours notice. Tara was on the ball and extremely helpful in helping me understand what was happening and coming up with ideas that could help my autistic son in a very chaotic school setting that was quickly becoming a nightmare. She is very compassionate and easy to connect with. I would highly recommend her for educational needs for both parents and kiddos!”

️️️️️ “Tara is a true gem in vocational rehabilitation!
Tara has been working with my 19-year-old daughter, who has autism, and I can’t say enough about the impact she’s had on our family. She is incredibly kind, endlessly patient, and deeply skilled in supporting individuals on the spectrum. Tara has a natural ability to connect, listen, and guide without judgment—making my daughter feel seen, heard, and empowered.
What sets Tara apart is her unwavering support for parents. She’s not only a specialist for our daughter, but an advocate for our entire family. Her insights, encouragement, and communication have helped us navigate challenges with confidence and clarity. Tara’s dedication and compassion shine through in everything she does. We’re so grateful to have her on our team!”

We are thrilled to have found Neurotivate for our son. Mrs. Tara has been such a wonderful teacher . We've seen our son grow and learn so much in just a few short months that he has been with her. She truly understands the extra attention and care that is needed for kids on the spectrum. We couldn't be more happy with our choice in education for our son. He's very happy at this micro school.

Neurotivate has been an incredible tool for my son. He is in the spectrum and has absolutely thrived in this school. The all around growth has been amazing for him. Learning not only the essentials of curriculum, but also of how to be a human and Mrs. Tara’s passion and love for helping these kids is contagious. We’re so grateful for this amazing program!
