What our clients have to say

“Building Positive Parent and School Partnerships is a great resource for everyone on the IEP team and beyond. These bite-sized treasures are perfect for quickly brushing up on skills and gaining fast insights. Mostly, I appreciate that Purchin Consulting provides opportunities for staff and parents to learn together.”
Melanie J. Reese
Melanie J. ReesePh.D., Director of CADRE, Eugene Oregon
“We bought this training package for the 11 school districts we serve, and the feedback was extremely positive; so much so that many of the concepts and skills have been integrated into our standard practices. The monthly book club is a wonderful added feature.”
Shelly Ota
Shelly Ota Director, South East SELPA (Special Education Local Plan Area), Santa Clara, CA
“Working with the youngest students and families is the first/best opportunity to establish a healthy relationship between families and districts. Getting off to a good start makes life a lot better for the years of work that follow. That’s why we signed on early, and have district personnel and parents training together - both virtually and in-person. This has been beneficial to all parties and has mitigated disputes, while keeping a focus on student outcomes!”
Dr. Scott Turne
Dr. Scott TurneExecutive Director, East San Gabriel Valley SELPA and Co-Executive Director of CalECSE (California Early Childhood Special Education Network)
“I participated in this program through the SELPA and, while the emphasis on IEP teams was terrific, I knew instantly that our principals would benefit from the training too, especially for applying communication strategies to just about any challenging conversations with parents or staff. Methods in Marc’s program (including individual follow-up coaching) are now used successfully by them.”
Anna Sanfilippo Pulido
Anna Sanfilippo PulidoDirector, Student Services Gilroy, CA USD
“The training strengthens parents to claim their rightful roles at the IEP team table and enhances their advocacy skills as they support their children in navigating various systems, including healthcare and government agencies.”
Michele WilliersExecutive Director, PEAK Parent Center, Colorado
"Thanks so much for providing our Back-To-School in-service. I have received lots of positive feedback from my staff. They would even like to see you again! Thanks again for ALL that you do for education!"
Pam Williams

"Your topic “Conflict is not a Bad Word; Conflict is an Opportunity for Discussion” was perfect for the audience. Your presentation style was very personable and lent itself to the participants feeling comfortable to discuss challenging situations. All of the educational administrators in the room learned something new."
Kim Hopko
Kim HopkoDirector Division of Special Education Los Angeles County of Education
"Your kindness and knowledge couldn’t be appreciated more. Thank you doesn’t say enough. Having you to assist the District and me made a world of difference. You have a true gift and talent. The service that you provide is priceless. I admire what you do for people because the help you provide will last a lifetime."
Susie WagniereParent of Quinten
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise at our national conference. The 200-plus members who attended your session on Conflict Resolution and Interest-Based Negotiations rated your session one of the highest of all the workshops at the conference. You are a wonderful resource for our membership.
Sue MackieExecutive Director United States Swim School Association
I want to thank you again for the incredible skill and empathetic way in which you planned and implemented the DRS staff retreat. The pre-retreat consultations were extraordinarily helpful. Your insight and perspective before, during and after were very much on target and contributed to a successful (and fun!) day with important and realistic outcomes for our staff. The feedback has been universally positive. It has truly been a personal as well as professional pleasure getting to know you! I look forward to further opportunities to work together.
Tobi InlenderExecutive Director Dispute Resolution Services Los Angeles County Bar Association
Thank you for all the effort put forth by you at our mediation with the school district. The compromise reached helped us achieve our most significant goals.
