"The staff at Turning Point has been a great resource for our parents, students, and staff. They are experts in their field and provide the district with relevant data to help develop effective and appropriate educational programs for our students with disabilities. "
Kevin Erickson Cuba Elementary Principal "As a Speech-Language Pathologist working 20+ years in pediatrics, Turning Point Behavioral Services has been just the resource I have been looking for to better service young children with developmental disabilities as well as those on the Autism Spectrum. The professional consult services provided to both myself and my client's families have provided us with tools to help these young children learn more effectively and make gains across many learning areas. I have been so impressed with the personal touch and the quality of expertise that only experience can bring. I highly recommend this team of experts to both professionals and to the families of young children they serve." Pamela Eckendorf, CCC-SLP Speech and Language Pathologist Independent Early Intervention Provider "We have had a great experience with all services from Turning Point since we started working with this team 3 years ago. Turning Point has consulted with us on numerous occasions with issues happening in our home and has made themselves available via email and phone with any questions we have had. Turning Point is very professional in their demeanor and plays a large part in our sons education without crossing personal lines. This team has helped our son with his education over the last 3 years and his strides and improvements are largely due to the quality of service they provide. They provide excellent service to our children and our school district and we would highly recommended them to anyone that needed behavioral consultation." Mark and Amber Christensen Parents to Carter Genesee Valley Central School District "I am currently a one on one aide with an autistic child. Turning Point has provided me with techniques and strategies that have been a huge help with my student. I have learned a tremendous amount and I don't know what we would do without Turning Point." Nancy Burdick 1:1 Aide Cuba Elementary "Turning Point has been as assest to our school district. They provide very professional services and have excellent trained, educated and knowledgeable staff. Turning Point has worked with our district in creating effective behavior plans to manage difficult situations and educates our staff in being effective in carrying out any behavior plans. I highly recommend Turning Point." Kelly Dunham CSE/CPSE Chairperson Belfast Central School District |
"Turning Point's Behavior Consultant not only came in and quickly analyzed my daughter's needs, but also has gone above and beyond to manage an entire team of therapists that were not ABA trained. She worked hands-on with each of them for countless hours to get them to where we saw tremendous progress with my daughter's speech and overall comprehension. ...... Every time I have a question, she makes sure to answer so that I can understand fully and when she hasn’t had the answer right there (which is rare), she has researched and found it for me. She addresses all of my concerns as a parent and I am so thankful for her involvement in our lives."
Deborah Sweeney Parent to Lexi Falconer School District "The professionals from Turning Poinjt Behavioral Services have made a wonderful impace on our students with special needs, their families, and our teaching teams. Their expertise in the areas of language, behavior, and instruction has been incredibly beneficial as we aim to promote positive learning experiences in our classrooms. We have learned and grown tremendously through collaborating with the valuable members of the Turning Point team." Lynn Kunz Special Education Teacher Genesee Valley Central School District "As a 6:1:1 classroom teacher for student with array of disabilities, the support given to me by Turning Point Specialists is invaluable. They have supported me with shared knowledge of basic behavior principles, assessment tools such as the ABLLS and VB-MAPP, and direction in implementing, running, and modifying Verbal Behavior programing for students. I appreciate the ability of Turning Point Professionals to consider the individual child and their unique learning environments when providing suggestions for instruction or behavior modification; they have helped me support stuggling students with transitioning, acquisition, and maintenence of skills, reduction of problem behavior and inclusion with typical peers." Special Education Teacher Allegany-Cattaraugus BOCES "Our classroom staff was in search of an independent Behavior Analyst to help us address a student’s maladaptive behaviors. We were recommended to try Sue Weeks & Jen Rumfola of Turning Point Behavioral Services and were exceptionally pleased with their services. Their approach was professional, efficient, and very caring from analysis/assessment to strategies/suggestions. They both were willing to go the extra mile after initial assessment and their written plan suggestions by answering questions/clarifying concerns (either via phone or email). They understood the reality of a school setting and provided do-able strategies for the staff to implement the behavior support plan. Additionally, they were willing to do one on one training in order for staff to “get it,” especially if they were unfamiliar with behavior plans and its lingo. Sue and Jen are an excellent team! Their help with our student’s behavior needs has allowed this student to more appropriately participate in school lessons/activities and interact with peers/adults. " Natalie D.
