As a strong advocate for parent's rights and the parent-choice industry, I highly recommend Dore Frances, M.A. as a Family Coach and an Independent Educational Consultant. I am also the mother of a program graduate, so I know what goes into making these decisions. Having at one time experienced my own child's self-destructive behavior, I know first hand the horrific roller coaster of emotions parents go through; helplessness and the loss of hope, fueled by guilt, shame and isolation. Dore is driven by a passion to make a difference, and understanding each parent's unique needs.
The success of these children ripples out and benefits us all. - Glenda Gabriel, CORE Solutions, St. George, Utah

I can't thank you enough for your encouragement and insight into all the different schools that my parents were able to consider. There are so many out there, and it was hard to know which way to go. Having you come visit with me at my school and then stay for lunch was fun. - Mike S., Boise, Idaho |

If you are a parent that is really nervous about picking the right school for your daughter or son, I highly recommend working with Dore Frances, M.A. Dore is the type of Educational Consultant who clearly takes the time to get to know the family she is working with and their student. She takes great pride in finding a program or school that will be an appropriate fit and one that will have long lasting results. - Carol Grieve, Life Coach, Colorado |

I want to thank you for all of your help, advice, and knowledge over the past two years!
I would have been lost without you!
I have just started getting ready to go home and have already had a few home visits. I am looking forward to being back with my family full time. The parent coaching you have done with them all this time has made a big difference for all of us. Thanks again for everything. - Jaala G., Anchorage, Alaska

Rebecca - I was absolutely devastated when I moved to the United States from the Netherlands and then Katrina hit us and we had to move again. My confidence was shaken and I was struggling with everything.
Then my parents found Dore. They did not know what to do for me or how to help me.
We had already tried counseling.
Mr. & Mrs. F. - Dore was in a hotel room, traveling, when we called her. She got us what we needed and we faxed her everything to the hotel. Her responsiveness to our immediate need was very professional.
After a few anxious hours on the phone with Dore we made arrangements to get our daughter to wilderness. From there she entered a clinical boarding school. Thank you Dore. You have no idea how much you mean to us. We could never have done it without you. - Houston, Texas

This is a recommendation and a note of appreciation. What you have contributed to countless numbers of families and children can never fully be counted and acknowledged but know that those families and children have, because of you, the opportunity for enriched and happy lives. The children and families you have already assisted plus all those you will assist in the future owe a debt of gratitude to you Dore. Please accept my deepest thanks for all you have done and all you continue to do. --William W. Dean, Director, Eagles Nest School
