“He worked so well with my autistic daughter that had been struggling in reading for years. She was well below grade level since Kindergarten and wasn’t showing much progress in all grades before 3rd.
With the dedication, support and patience of Mr. Gilbert she surpassed her grade’s reading level!! She used to HATE reading with a passion, and now she can always be found with a book in hand. Her favorite is Harry Potter… A chapter book! Before 3rd grade (with Mr. Gilbert) we struggled for the longest time with just comic books.
I cannot sing enough praise about this wonderful teacher. To see the amount of growth in her, in just months after the school year started was such a wonderful experience. It seems often times that a lot of teachers don’t care as much as they should, or don’t really try to help their students achieve greatness.. But sometimes one comes along that blows them all out of the water and that is Mr. Gilbert.
I am so beyond thankful for his influence and presence in my daughters learning journey.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Mr. Gilbert!!”
