Kara gives a knowledgeable and interactive presentation based in research and personal experience. My staff said that her professional development was the "best we have had all year!" Thank you Kara for sharing your love of learning and diversity in humanity.

My agency collaborated with Kara. She is incredibly resourced, informative, clear, and patient with her ability to explain how neurobiology impacts behavior and emotions, and give youth/clients/parents helpful and empowering strategies to help them better understand their brains, navigate their challenges, and access their strengths. I have never experienced another professional who is able to understand and clearly explain neurodivergence and how to navigate it in real world situations so well!.

Kara was such peace of mind when my family had to deal with a new diagnosis and the side effects of the new medicines. Kara was able to explain the complicated medical diagnosis and meds in terms that were simple and easy to understand. Kara helped explained options and things we should consider. This in turn helped us with the doctors and getting our daughter the best treatment possible. So grateful for her help during that difficult time.

After 6 years of struggles to understand my young son and after many therapies, parenting techniques, research, and modalities that never made a difference, in one conversation, Kara understood. We had been constantly seeking and trying and I never before experienced such a level of complete and specific understanding of what we'd been through. She changed our lives with the information she brought and provided further resources to help us along a path. Throughout this process, she was humble, kind, and compassionate. As I read through the resources she sent, I laughed and cried. So many years of misunderstanding -- of banging our heads against the wall when advice didn't work -- of feeling alone and isolated in our experience were over. Kara's insight brought clarity and hope. It's been the most important information I've ever received as a mom. I can never thank her enough.

Kara Nash is, quite simply, an extraordinary person with extraordinary gifts. She has been working with our son—an adult with ASD—for some time now, and both my wife and I have been privileged to participate in a few of their sessions (at our son’s request). We have been able to witness firsthand her ability to listen with great empathy, to very carefully make perceptive observations, and to even more carefully offer information and suggestions in a way that is deeply respectful of one’s dignity. She brings to her work a great store of technical knowledge, an intuitive understanding and respect for the person she is working with. She has a rare ability to put the other person at ease, to listen and to connect, sometimes with humor and always with empathy. But perhaps the most extraordinary gift that Kara brings to her work is the ability to share from her own experiences as a person with ASD. When appropriate, she is open and honest about herself, sharing experiences (often with humor) when they are relevant to the issue at hand. She manages to do it while always remaining the consummate professional that she is. It is this level of understanding that sets Kara apart from the other excellent professionals our son has worked with. Kara continues to be enormously helpful, not only to our son, but to both of us as his parents, as we watch him address and overcome obstacles that have seemed insurmountable. We continue to be very grateful that she has come into our lives.
