"Working with NELVB has been a truly positive experience. I first connected with Scott over a decade ago to support one of my students, and his involvement made a lasting impact on both the student and their family. Since then, he’s continued to provide valuable support through demos and programs. It’s always been about what’s best for the kids, and that’s what matters most to me."

"Thank you again for an excellent visit yesterday. My dad and I appreciated the time you spent with us, your thorough explanations of the various options and of the Stella lamp. I could tell that he was extremely pleased at the thought of being able to once again manage his piles of papers. My hope is with that victory and order, he’ll feel empowered and ready to tackle some other matters in his life."
