What Others Say
Words From A Happy Parent:
“We can’t thank you enough for all that you’ve done for Lily and our family. You went beyond teaching, you became Lily’s advocate. You truly changed our lives.”

Words Of Appreciation:
My staff members and I attended a workshop that was facilitated by Perk Musacchio and Monica Reinhard-Gorney, authors of No Manual? No Problem! Over the years, we have attended many trainings and professional development workshops, but this one provided us with new information that we found to be very enlightening. We appreciated that the presenters were able to “bring it to real life” and help us understand what we are all experiencing in our classrooms and why. Plus, several new strategies and interventions were shared that could be life changing for our students and their families. I believe that all parents and educators would benefit from the valuable information found in this book.

Parent Applause:
We met Perk in February of 2019 because our 1st grade daughter was struggling with reading sight words, decoding and fluency. After working with our daughter, Perk also identified signs of sensory processing issues that were impacting her educational and personal development. I soon came to realize that Perk was not only a tutor, but she had become our child’s advocate. I immediately took her advice. She held my hand and guided me through the complicated and unfamiliar world of diagnosis, treatment, and many meetings with a variety of professionals. She met with our daughter to assure her comfort with and understanding of what the process entailed. Within a year of meeting Perk, our child’s growth is immeasurable and has affected every aspect of her life. Her reading is now grade appropriate, and her gross motor skills are balanced, making physical tasks fluid and effortless. These advancements have boosted her self-esteem and independence. In short, Perk changed our lives.

Thank you for all of your advice and amazing detective work to help our daughter, Maddie! You said it is all about identifying the root cause of the problem, and you helped us to do that. Before we accessed the proper programs to address our daughter's math and reading struggles, she was reading way below grade level and not commensurate with her ability. As a 3rd grader, she tested at the 9 percentile in the fall. We could not get the proper instruction and support at our home school and therefore, we had to make a change in her school placement. You knew that Maddie needed Seeing Stars to help improve her symbol imagery, and you nailed it. After brief, but intensive instruction in that program, Maddie returned to her home school. Her teachers are so glad to have her back and proud of the progress that she has made. She is doing great and participating in class much more. Her most recent spring scores were at the 76 percentile and an instructional reading level of 4.3. In addition, a similar technique and program, On Cloud Nine, is helping improve her math skills, too. We couldn't be more grateful.

The Struggle is Real... But
There is Hope!
While 1 in 3 children carry some sort of formal diagnosis, no child is untouched. The reality is we have been doing the same thing for years, but expecting better results. This book addresses the synergistic effect between the lack of creative play, movement, poor nutrition, overscheduled lifestyles, and overuse of screens.
