What are other students saying?

I have had the great opportunity to learn from Ms. Lasca over many different platforms in my life. From special education legal clinics, advocacy for Generic Resources, and intensive self-determination program training. Ms. Lasca's extensive knowledge of various programs gave me the necessary skills to provide outstanding support for the families I serve

Ms. Lasca puts a lot of time and effort into disseminating knowledge, attention to detail, and providing in-depth and detailed information. In addition, Ms. Lasca was always available if I needed more support or clarification about the subject matter. Ms. Lasca can make some of the most challenging curricula easier to grasp by being very structured, clear, and organized. She is a passionate instructor who truly cares about her student's success.

I have taken one of Rosie’s trainings before, and by far was the most informational that I have taken in a very long time. Along with the previous one, I learned and gained information that will be very valuable to my work not only is an independent facilitator, but also as an advocate for education and generic services. Rosie is one of the best trainers I’ve seen, and I don’t say that lightly. I look forward to every other training she’s going to do because I know one thing when I’m done taking the training, I will definitely walk away with more knowledge than I had. Rosie, you’re an excellent trainer and an excellent presenter and with your help there will be some great independent facilitators Because of these courses. Thank you so much, it was worth every penny and more!

"This was definitely a spectacular course! I have done other Independent Facilitator trainings, but this one was different. It's interactive, engaging, and, most importantly, it's full of valuable information. And if you have questions, Rosie answers them right away! I strongly recommend and encourage anyone who wants to be trained in this beautiful world of being able to help people who need it most to take this course. Also, it's at your own pace. Thank you, Rosie, for your excellent work and dedication!"

Thanks again,

As an aspiring Independent Facilitator, I quickly realized that the DDS required training alone would not be sufficient for me to serve even one client well. Despite my best efforts to network and research what I could find online, I knew that I’d need to invest and get some professional training. In my search I found The Independent Facilitator Training Academy website and booked an hour consultation with Rosie Lasca. Honestly, her website isn’t remarkable so I wasn’t expecting much. But I cannot tell you how invaluable that hour was on that day and on the days following when I booked more sessions. Her expertise in this field is quite amazing as the SDP program hasn’t been around more than a decade and I haven’t met anyone as knowledgeable since.

Rosie is truly dedicated to my success. I pay for an hour but she has always looked at my work or questions in advance and then does follow ups to ensure my needs have been met. She also has small business experience and spent hours helping me with my business plan.

 It feels great to have a mentor! I’m just getting started but I hope to empower others the way she has me. Thank you, Rosie! You make a real difference.  

My very best, Lori Ross
