Testimonials

We prayed for four years for the right support person to help us on our journey with our energetic, strong-willed son, who had been rescued from the chaos of trauma near his first birthday. After trying different schools, we stumbled upon NILD and was directed to GeerLINKS. And there I heard, “it can be helped”. It is not a bandaid program, but building from the bottom up. We know it will take time, but for the well-being and future of our son, this is worth every investment. Thank you!

Marlene Bouwman - Parent

We are so thankful for the commitment of Diane Geerlinks and her team to help build a solid foundation for learning in our children. Diane is creative and knowledgeable in finding programs that meet the needs of each student. She works hard to ensure each child weaknesses are strengthened, while celebrating success and fostering a life-long love for learning.

Michelle Alcock, Parent

We’ve been doing therapy for 2 years. All therapists at GeerLINKS are compassionate, knowledgeable, and supportive. What our family loves about this program is that it’s individual and fun! Not only our now 12-year-old daughter loves going, but we noticed great improvement in academic and sensory areas in which she struggles. Fantastic program!!!

Kasia Szezney - Parent

It is an incredible joy to see the growth in my son after two years of therapy… academically, enhanced attention and focus, as well as improved confidence. I am so thankful for the opportunity to invest time and resources to see this enormous progress.

Sandee Macgregor, Parent

The time our son spent with GeerLINKS Educational Therapy has been a blessing to all of us! He has not only learned to read, but has become more organized, better able to focus on the task at hand, and gained control of his impulsive actions and emotions.

Grace VanderMeulen, Parent

As a conference speaker, Diane’s heart for helping others, for seeing students succeed, not only academically, but in every area of their lives, shines through. Those privileged to be in her workshops always leave with practical, real life strategies presented with passion and enthusiasm.

Aileen Wittich, KW Christian Home Educator's Conference

How refreshing to hear from a conference workshop speaker who taught in such a way that surpassed my own enthusiasm for the topic discussed! As a mom to young children, and currently homeschooling, the information was very practical. Hearing Diane’s passion, personal experiences & professional input helped me walk away from the workshop feeling encouraged and inspired.

Krista VanWingerden - Parent

I would absolutely not hesitate to sign your child up for the Rx for Math Discovery Program organized through GeerLINKS. After one year of the program our daughter has gained the confidence she needs to approach math equations. We feel it has broke open some clogged pathways. She’s on a roll now! Her recall has improved, allowing for a boost to her working memory issues. We are so grateful for this program.

Barbara Arenburg - Parent

After many concerns and worries in my mind for my son, Diane put all of that to rest. I now know that I am NOT alone, NOT crazy, and NOT doing the wrong thing for my child. I now feel empowered to continue on educating him, knowing that he works a little different and that’s ok. We still have choices to make in guiding him through his education for sure; however, it is so much easier knowing the direction we are headed now. Thank you Diane from the bottom of my heart! You are such a blessing to …

I am so lucky to have met Diane Geerlinks! As a behavioural Optometrist, I am intrigued and very impressed with the intervention programs that Diane offers. It is very evident that Diane truly cares about each one of her clients and is always actively seeking how ways – like Vision Therapy – to further enhance their learning success. I cannot recommend Diane enough for children who are struggling with learning!
