"The program you have created in your classroom is
far superior to any other program I have witnessed. You understand your objectives of what you need to teach and you use every different way of connecting with the children to help them succeed. I admire your determination and integrity.”
–Dr. Cornelia Gallo, Child Psychiatrist, Westport, CT
"Under your tutelage, one student in particular has progressed far beyond what many people thought was even possible. Through your experience, patience, dedication, perseverance,
and creativity, this student has come so far. Your understanding of how he learns and his moment-to-moment needs is unparalleled. Another student has progressed so much with reading decoding with you. Again, your knowledge, caring, and experience have contributed greatly to this student’s amazing progress.”
–Dr. William Blank, Licensed Psychologist in CT

"Bonita has been our son’s case manager and special education teacher for the past four years. Initially she fostered a sense of trust and respect by collaborating very closely with us. Her “never give up” attitude paired with her thinking-outside-the-box teaching strategies have effectively advanced our
son’s understanding of mathematical concepts and computation. He is even making change from a dollar
in his head. Her systematic and creative reading instruction has advanced our son’s independent reading level by approximately two grade levels over the
last three and a half years. This is nothing short of outstanding. The data collected from this year’s triennial testing provides the evidence that her efforts have been well placed and rewarded. With knowledge, passion, creativity, and respect, Bonita has made a difference in the life of our son.”
–Westport parents
"I had the honor and privilege of speaking with Bonita’s class of “special” children for Veteran’s Day on November 9, 2008…this was my third visit and each time I come away more rewarded. Bonita’s attention to detail, sense of patriotism, and love for her charges is so palpable, it’s always an experience that brings a smile and a sense of reward to this old soldier.”
–Lieutenant John J. Lunghi November 18, 2007
