Dr. Sando is a wonderful Reflective Practice consultant! Over the past four years, I have had the privilege of receiving reflective consultation with Dr. Sando directly, I have contracted with her to provide reflective consultation for my team members, and I have experienced her as a group trainer. In each role, Dr. Sando is compassionate, informed and reflective! She is a pleasure to work with and it has been inspiring to see the growth in my team members as a result of their reflective sessions with Dr. Sando.

Working with Dr. Sando allowed me to gain a broader perspective of my work in the Early Childhood field. Her individual and group support deepened my understanding of the practical realities of supporting young children and families and increased the tools I used daily. I benefited from having the space to critically reflect...and explored new ways to build the capacity of my team. As a result of our work together, the team became much more equipped to facilitate reflective conversations with early childhood providers and became more attuned to their needs...Our time with Dr. Sando made us a more cohesive countywide team!
