Colleen is our Brain Potential scheduling wizard. Sometimes it appears easier to schedule overseas troop maneuvers than to handle daily scheduling for cognitive therapy for busy children, teens and their families. Colleen is a master at handling it all - kids on Spring Break in 20 different school districts, trainers on vacation on 4 continents, hurricanes, frozen roads and flu epidemics. Colleen is remarkable for her calm in crisis and for attention to detail. We can’t imagine doing it all without her. Colleen is a devoted wife and mom to precious infant daughter, Reagan.
