Testimonials
See what audiences have to say about Rachel's talks.
Rachel Kapp, with Kapp Educational Group, delivered an exceptional presentation that captivated parents from start to finish. Rather than overwhelming us with technical jargon, she skillfully translated complex neurological concepts into practical insights about how our children learn differently. Her ability to weave in specific, relatable examples of student transformations—from struggling with reading comprehension to developing effective study strategies—helped us see the concrete possibilities for our own children.
Her genuine passion was evident throughout, particularly during the Q&A session where she addressed each parent’s concerns with thoughtful, individualized responses rather than generic advice. Many of us left the meeting not only with a clearer understanding of educational therapy but also with immediate strategies we could implement at home that very evening.
I learned so many things I can do to set my kids up for success. It was great! I like that she kept things simple and straightforward with practical tips.
Thank you for the presentation! It was amazing, full of great content and funny.
I learned that I struggle with executive functioning skills and my son is learning his habits and behaviors from me. I know now to start planning with the family to get things consistent and involve everyone. Thanks, Rachel!
I loved how you broke it all down and gave lots of information in an easily digestible and relatable way.
