“When we have children, we have expectations. When we were faced with challenges, we put those expectations aside. We fight tooth and nail to see that they get the best of the best. What they don’t tell you is the challenges they face as adults. What happens after high school? What will happen when I leave this world, where will my “adult” child be? These are all the questions that have raced through my head over the past five years. When asking for assistance, my “adult” child was denied. After speaking to Jennifer from Abilities Reimagined and her taking the reigns to help us get the diagnosis in the proper order, I now can say I feel somewhat wholesome again. Her diagnosis was point on. So point on, that after reading it, it’s like she was in my brain. My child is 23 years old. I have know him for 23 years. She knew him all of a few hours and was able to detail all his strengths, weaknesses, characteristics, traits, behaviors and so on. Amazing to feel not so alone anymore. Thank you. I cannot even express my gratitude. I know it is your job but if people like yourself didn’t do these jobs, parents like myself would be lost. I highly recommend Abilities Reimagined.”
“My daughter (8 years) absolutely loved Jennifer and how everything was set up for her. She actually wanted Jennifer to be her real teacher at school. Everything from the beginning to the end was made easy for us to understand and Jennifer’s structure to this process was so clear. Her readiness, work ethic, and caring personality was so refreshing. We loved Abilities Reimagined so much that we are looking forward to our daughter visiting some of the summer programs that may take place. Jennifer offering times to hear guest speakers is also a major plus and so beneficial to new parents or parents to new every day kid behaviors. Can’t say enough positives!!”
“Jennifer was a breath of fresh air for this testing process. We had already visited a psychiatry office that felt cold and uncaring. Jennifer reversed my fears and hesitations about the testing. She listened well and understood what our goals and concerns were. The results were clear and helped us identify how we can proceed to help our son in the future. Thanks to Jennifer for making our son comfortable throughout the testing and us as parents”
“Jennifer was very patient and thorough with her assessment of our son. She really took the time to hear our input as parents and also quickly made our son at ease during his assessment. She was easy to talk to and we never felt rushed. We were highly satisfied with her processes from start to finish and will recommend her over and over again.”
“Jennifer was wonderful to work with. Very professional and compassionate. Her love for her job is apparent. She did so well with my daughter who typically can be shy and nervous around new people. Our daughter warmed right up to her. The in person assessments were very fun and interactive for our daughter. The testing location is a great spot for parents that need to work on the computer or just sit and relax. Thank you for giving us clarity, support, and direction for our daughter’s future.”
“Jennifer was very responsive, professional and attentive to our concerns as parents. She was warm and inviting with our child and provided a safe environment for testing. Her services were quick and efficient and we walked away feeling better equipped to help our child be successful. We would highly recommend Jennifer at Abilities Reimagined!”
Ms. Dodds was very professional and approachable. She put my daughter at ease immediately, which helped Ms. Dodds achieve the most accurate testing results.”
“We had been planning to get our 4 year old tested for early kindergarten entry for months. We were in contact with a different practice who became unresponsive to voicemails/texts/emails. As a result, we had to look for alternatives. In comes google.. I found Abilities Reimagined. Everything was great from the start. From scheduling the appointment online, to the ability to get in contact with her on the first try, to the quick reply to texts. We were even able to get a consultation and appointment earlier than expected. My son really enjoyed his time meeting with her. So much so, that he didn’t want to leave. Jennifer is very communicative, helpful, and professional. I have and will continue to recommend her to family and friends. Thank you!!!”
“We were referred to Jennifer and Jennifer was great from the first phone call until the results meeting, and then even after with follow ups checking in on us. I would never go anywhere else for any testing if we need any in the future! She was sweet, patient, very knowledgeable, explained things we didn’t understand, and made us feel very comfortable in every way. She really got to know our child during the process to make the best decisions for them. She was spot on in understanding our child! We adore her.”
“From our first phone call to our final meeting, Jennifer was diligent to listen, take notes, ask questions, and had a true desire to see our child succeed. She was able to use the information we provided about our son’s personality, strengths, and weaknesses, and she used it to appeal to our child, make him feel comfortable, and with that was able to best serve him. Instead of just presenting the evaluation materials and “getting through” the testing, she took time to get to know him, interact with him based on his interests, and gave him confidence in the testing process to be a positive impact in his future schooling. She was an answer to prayer and a blessing to our family!”

“If you are looking for a polished, insightful, and energetic professional to help your family navigate the complexities of psycho-educational evaluations, you have landed in the right spot. I have worked closely with Jennifer for many years and have always appreciated her curiosity and openness to investigate every possibility to fully determine the best way to support students. Jennifer has a natural rapport with children and adolescents, which helps put them at ease during the evaluation process.”
“I had a hard time admitting that something may be going on with my child other than generalized anxiety. We had been to several other providers and they all said her issues were just anxiety. We went to another developmental agency and they diagnosed my child with ADHD off of a suspected family history after a 1 hour appointment, no assessments were performed, no interaction with my child. It was ridiculous. It didn’t feel right. We came to Jennifer and she truly took an interest in my child. She did a very thorough assessment, observed her at school and after school and got a very good picture of who my child is and her behaviors. After receiving a formal diagnosis of level 1 autism and ADHD, she made sure all of the recommendations were given to us so our child can get the very best assistance she needs. I will be forever grateful for the time Jennifer spent with us!”
