"I have known Mr. Turner for more than a decade. I had a child that was on the "Spectrum" (Aspergers), had dropped out of High School, had many of the associated behavioral problems, was terribly disorganized, and appeared to lack the drive necessary to become a productive member of our society. As would any concerned parent, I tried with all that was in me to help my son turn things around, but without much success.
Thankfully, a colleague who also had a child on the "Spectrum" referred me to Mr. Turner, explaining that Mr. Turner and his program (Educational Associates & Affiliates) specialized in cases such as mine.
I spoke with Mr. Turner over the phone, was impressed, and decided to retain his services.
It was the best investment in my precious child's entire life. The magic that lies within this man cannot be overstated. While there were a good share of setbacks along the way that left me ready to abandon all hope, EAA refused to give up and kept working with my child, keeping personal contact with him, reviewing his work and assignments, interfacing with school personnel, and (in short) doing everything possible to help my son back onto the path of personal and educational growth, achievement, and success.
Flash forward 10 years – My once child is now a young adult, employed with a firm doing work in the subject matter he loves, and at a salary of almost six figures, has moved out of his mother's basement and lives in his own apartment (which he pays for with his own money), loves his new life, has the confidence in himself and his abilities that (initially) I never thought possible.
EAA's services are worth every penny of the investment (and more). I would recommend this program to any parent in a similar position as mine without reservations".

“Sometimes it takes a while to recognize that someone has special abilities to motivate and have others believe in them . Furthermore, it is also difficult to see success in such a short time frame … and to imagine that together they can have your child do even greater things in life than what they’ve accomplished in earlier years. In a rare moment of time a special group of professionals emerge in my circle. That group is called Educational Associates and Affiliates. Our Son, his Mother and I are very grateful for the “Leadership" of this wonderful program”.

“After my son returned home due to an unsuccessful freshman year away at college; my wife and I decided to look for help. Enrolling with EAA, my son was able to manage his anxiety in taking the Accuplacer placement test. After a semester of review he was successful in moving forward. EAA’s high level of attention and prompting has elicited a very strong level of motivation from my son which has gone a long way toward improving his attitude. He is excited about the next term”.

"For those with a child that learns differently and wonders how your child will deal with college; a potential answer has helped our son. Educational Associates & Affiliates has helped in so many ways, including preparing our son for class schedules and the related scenarios of scheduling, accommodations being understood, walk through of the campus, and making sure his goals are met. During every session, the EAA Coach ensures he knows what to do, when to do it, and what materials to review to make sure our son is completing all his assignments accurately and timely. The use of Educational Associates & Affiliates has given our son a great shoulder to rely on and still makes him personally responsible for completion".

"I have been researching government and private services for months that will provide our son with a highly-structured week day schedule while he works toward a more independent and meaningful life. This HAS NOT been an easy task. There are no agencies/organizations that embodies all the pamphlets that I need. It is often a hit and miss, keeping my ear to the ground and learning as I go.
I want to share with you one resource that has paid for itself over and over, and we are just beginning with them.
When I began working with EAA, I could feel the winds of hope lifting me up once again. Within 2 days of a verbal agreement, our son’s new academic coach had designed a highly-structured weekly schedule that includes 2 College courses, a volunteer job that he will work at 2 days a week, much needed physical activity and time to have a life-skills coach work with our son in our home and community. The Coach took time to get to know our son and write a plan that supports his unique needs. When I told my husband about what he had done, he shook his head and said, "finally, someone who believes in our son like we do!" If you know of any parents of post-secondary students who have learning difficulties that impede their progress toward a meaningful and successful future, please pass the following information on to them. It is so hard to find organizations that really care and try to make a difference and this may help them in their efforts".

"My children, both young men, have struggled with traditional education throughout their lives. Although with their challenges, they’ve always wanted to move forward in their respective educational plans. My husband and I soon learned Universities that "offered supportive services” always fell short when understanding the needs of our unique sons. A friend of mine referred us to Educational Associates & Affiliates. With their support, my young men, are achieving their goals. Whether facing college and seeking a job, EAA, has coached, tutored and supported my boys in a supportive and productive manner".
