Recognition
“I don't know if you will remember us but I just wanted to send you a quick email with a couple of photos of our daughter's Graduation.
She was a very troubled teenager seven years ago. You assisted us with an intervention and schooling options which, even though very difficult to do at the time, turned out to what my husband and I believe was the best decision for our daughter.
She has just graduated from Philadelphia University with a BS in Fashion Design. We are so proud of her and all her hard work. She did it!!!!!!!!!
I am truly grateful that there was someone like you to help us find a program that worked for our daughter. Thank you again.”
“So I once again thank you for all of your help. You put us on track when we had no direction and you gave us hope to find a better environment for all of our kids. (Our son) will be a productive and caring member of society at (boarding school) as well as throughout life because of the direction and support you gave us as a family.”
“Jody was absolutely essential to the process of finding the right school. I would recommend his services to anyone.”
“I remember the dreaded, dark, panicked place (my husband and I) found ourselves last winter. We had exhausted our possibilities for helping (our son) find his way out of his drug-induced state of mind. We needed help immediately. The clock was ticking against our son’s ability to survive.... The minute I met you, I felt comfortable. And, indeed, your seasoned guidance and knowledge led us to a path we never knew existed. Since then, the hard shell of addiction has been cracked open. The positive, healthy journey we experience today is humbling. Even though there is still much to learn, our hearts are filled with gratitude and hope for the future. Thank you, Jody, for helping us save our beloved son.”
“Sincere apologies for the lateness of this note. Its untimeliness does not reflect the level of our appreciation for your kindness and the gift of your time – in fact, it’s quite the opposite. Talking with you about our daughter cleared the air for (my husband and me) and helped us focus on the direct needs she has rather than on our future desires.... Talking with you was the catalyst for our decision to keep our daughter at (school name) for another year. Thank you for your kindness and the benefit of your keen intellect.”
“Two years after my husband died, my 15 year old son was in a downward spiral. He was failing in school, disrespectful, smoking pot and trying desperately to avoid the grief he felt. I turned to Dobson Educational Services for help. Ruby advised me as to what my options were. I chose a wilderness therapy program which she had visited and felt very comfortable recommending. The experience turned my son’s life around. After wilderness, Ruby helped me choose the right therapeutic boarding school for him. My son has ADHD and although he needed the therapeutic piece, he also needed a program that would meet his needs academically. He needed somewhere that he could experience success and begin to grow, mature and flourish. Ruby helped me find that place. I am forever indebted to her for her help in getting my son back.”
“Jody and Ruby, enclosed is our check for payment of your services. Frankly, we were a bit skeptical at first of their value; we now realize we could not be handling this in their absence.”
“I’m happy to report that (our daughter) is doing really well! She remains very committed to sobriety and has regained her zest for life.... Our relationship as a family has improved greatly.... Jody, you’re 3 for 3 in helping us find the right help for (our daughter) and our family! We are so grateful we found you. Thanks to your guidance, our future looks great.... I wouldn’t wish this journey on anyone, but we are all much better for it. I’ve also seen many other families that have not had the benefit of someone like you and have struggled with trial and error. Thank you once again for your support, guidance and contribution to our family!”
“During this busy holiday season, I am reminded that not too long ago, we were wondering if we would see happy family times again. I cannot describe the gratitude I feel to have the opportunity to cross paths with such a caring, giving and extraordinary professional. (My daughter, wife and I) went through a lot (understatement), worked hard and are now enjoying the results; but we all know that without your help, love and guidance, we would not be where we are today.... You have an incredibly difficult and emotional job and few people could do what you do. Fewer yet could do it at your level. You gave us the best gift we could ever hope for, and I will forever be thankful. Our hope for you is happiness in whatever form it takes, as that is what you deserve for helping us restore ours.”
“In your line of work there is no way for our family to adequately thank you. If you would like to speak with (our daughter) to hear with your own ears what you have done for this child by guiding and supporting her parents with true dedication.... Jody, I KNOW you helped save her life and have given us all hope that she has the potential to attain a life of quality.”
“Thank you Ruby and Jody for the help you have given this family. I have a very different child coming home than the child who left. I am very grateful for the counsel and support you have provided.”
“You bring a level of integrity to your profession that makes you a very distinguished model of excellence.”
“In your kind, gentle way, you took two very distraught, bewildered parents and help them get themselves together so they could take the hard but critical steps to save their son’s life. Then you told them what steps to take. You looked our son straight in the face and told him he had to go to (therapeutic program) to rid his mind of the constant static and find his center. He believed you and went, notwithstanding suffering significant anxiety of what was before him.... Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. You can use us as a reference. I’m happy to talk to prospective clients about you and the services you render.”
“Thank goodness for Jody Dobson! We were at a loss to find the right school for our son, Zack. We came to Jody late in the game – almost desperate. He took the time to get to know us and Zack and he calmed us down. He recommended junior boarding school – an option we never would have considered, but he saw something in Zack. Jody not only gave us options, he helped us evaluate the options. Junior boarding school was the best decision we ever made and now Zack is excelling in high school. Jody opened our eyes to the possibilities and we can't thank him enough!”
