What Our Clients Say

In order to receive must-have accommodations on the entrance exam to law school: the LSAT corporation, required a battery of tests. Exasperated by the whole process, I went to Turning Point Testing for help. After mailing in the strong and eloquent narrative, explaining the results,the LSAT Corporation, without one, single, additional peep, granted every accommodation I requested and more. Turning Point Testing was there during a significant and stressful time; and, just as important, I had my needs met.

Hi Patty,

Things are going well and our son is doing awesome. Your recommendations, and report, were critical to us being able to deal effectively with the school and understanding what was really going on with him. The tools we are utilizing (a Chromebook, voice recognition software and grammarly) are making a big difference and really helping in my opinion. Thanks for reaching out.

Patty was so friendly with our child and really took the time to diffuse his angst about the evaluation process! From our first interaction, it was evident that Patty has a genuinely kind and caring nature. She not only took the time to take the legos out, but showed genuine interest in interacting with him and building with legos! She then asked him about his favorite music and again, took the time to actually play a few of the songs he liked! This made a world of difference. I felt comfortable. When I shared his assessment with a parent advocate who will represent us during our IEP, this person also commented on the report Patty provided. The advocate said she was really impressed with the report! Patty was very thorough and took a great deal of time to provide us with feedback as well as answer all our questions. We gained insight into his needs because now we understand the underlying causes of some of his behaviors and how we can better support him.

I highly recommend Turning Points! From the initial intake, to interaction and evaluation of our son, to our final report Patty was insightful, kind, and thorough. She took the time to compassionately listen to us during the intake, was gentle with our son and took made time to connect with him prior to the evaluation, and had a wealth of knowledge to share with us after the evaluation. While I though the report was thorough, our parent advocate also was impressed with the depth of insight Patty's report provided. It's a hard decision to decide which agency / university to go to for evaluation. I"m grateful we chose Turning Points.

Hello Patty, You will be happy to know that (my child's) school was immediately responsive to the testing report you put together! They were very impressed with your report and wish they could have a report like that for every kid in school! We met with them today and they are placing (my child) on an ALP and keeping his IEP, and he will be in the Gifted program at school. His classroom teacher and special ed teacher are more than willing to make some accommodations that you recommended to help him. After spring break, we will be meeting with the District’s Twice Exceptional Specialist and the Gifted Specialist for next steps and suggestions. I was not aware there is a district specialist for twice exceptional students.

Patty Martens showed so much patience and understanding in working with the age needs of our child. He needed to move, she let him. He would go off on a tangent and she would gently refocus him.

Patty Martens is simply amazing. She worked with our teenage daughter, completing comprehensive psychoeducational testing. Our goal was for us all to understand our daughter’s learning style, strengths and challenges, so she could engage in her best academic journey. Our daughter was reluctant at first, but Patty makes the process so engaging and comfortable. We felt that Patty unlocked key information that not only will help our daughter succeed in school, but in life. Thank you!

Dear Patty: I wanted to take a few minutes and express my appreciation for you with this letter.

Before I found you and Turning Point Assessment Services, I was a 57 year old man lost in confusion. I had spent my life running in all directions. I was frustrated, and thought I was simply a man who would never “get it together”. I even believed I was less intelligent than my peers.

After a divorce, and working in a business I hated, living in a small apartment, and feeling like I'd never accomplish anything of worth with my life, I took it upon myself to find answers.

Late one night, I got on the internet and looked for a service, a company that would get to the bottom of things. A company that would have the expertise and testing, to find the answers. A company that would discover what makes Dale tick.

I found Turning Point Assessment Services. I made an appointment with Patty Martens and the rest is history. The testing and questions Patty provided did the trick. It's the first time in all my years that I have a healthy view of myself and my abilities. All I had to do was take the first step. Patty was a pro and I'm thankful to her for making herself available. It's a great service she provides. I only regret that I didn't seek her help earlier. Thanks Patty!

We decided to seek Patty's help when our daughter's mis-behavior at school increased in combination with her growing sentiments of, "I hate school." At home she was also becoming increasingly intense, angry and at the same time very self-critical. We'd been seeking help from her teacher and friends, but we knew it was time to get some expert advice. Because Patty spent the extra time getting to know our daughter while doing her assessment, our daughter truly enjoyed her time with Miss Patty. Our daughter is shy with new people, and it was Patty's warmth and interest that coaxed her out of her shell so Patty could learn more about her.

Our first visit with Patty was truly a turning point for our daughter. Although it is hard to believe, I could see it immediately following our visit. Somehow, Patty ignited a flame of renewed self confidence in our daughter that continued to grow as we implemented Patty's ideas throughout the following weeks. Months later, I am happy to say our daughter enjoys school and is one of the best behaved kids in her class. Amazing!
