Annie Besterman’s commitment to empowering students is rooted in her own experience of struggling in school despite putting in strong effort, which fuels her deep empathy and insight when supporting others. Through her work, she developed the re•mem•brance program – a strength based initiative that helps middle school, high school, and college students understand their learning profile and find the language necessary to advocate for themselves.

In this 2-4 session program:

  • We review the findings of an evaluation

  • Identify strengths and challenges

  • Relate the results to real-life situations

  • Explore reactions to the results

  • Help accept that some things may be harder

  • Explore how to use strengths

  • Identify appropriate support

  • Communicate needs clearly

  • Become a stronger self-advocate

  • Forge a path forward with less frustration

We also offer separate sessions with parents to review the results of previous evaluations
