“My family has used Aja McKee with PDIC on numerous occasions. She has helped with my nephews behavior issues and has coached not only my sister and brother in-law, but my mother and I also on how to handle children with behavior issues. I have known Aja for many years, and she is amazing at what she does. She is multi talented in the many different arenas of early childhood behaviors and special needs, and adds a very personal touch and delicacy when dealing with the parents and children. I would recommend Aja and PDIC to any parent or teacher that needs help or consulting on the matters of childhood behavior issues!”- Angel S.
“I have the good fortune to see Aja instruct her class daily. She is a very dedicated teacher, who cares about each of her students. She sees each student as an important individual, in which she tries to meet each of her students needs by providing individualized instruction in her class. Aja collaborates with the staff who works in the classroom, and she values their ideas. Aja is a great team player in her classroom, and her students are very important to her."- Ana D.
Family Success Stories
Hear what some of our families had to say........
"My son was having severe behavior issues at school and my husband and I were at my witts end! Aja offered to come into our home and work with our child to try and figure out what would be the best way to handle his issues at school. She gave me a lot of really great tools to help work with our son and, when applied, worked!
I highly recommend PDIC to any parent that has concerns with their child, communicative, behavioral, emotional....their love of kids and expertise really shine through!" - Candace J.
"The time I spent with Mrs McKee really helped me with my Math and Science. She helped put me on the right path to being better organized and showed me how to make better use of my time and how to stay focused. I feel more confident and I am ready to face whatever 6th grade challenges come my way.
Thank you Mrs McKee" - Jackie Kennedy, 5th grader
"My son has autism, and no longer qualifies for Regional Center services, but this does not mean he no longer needs help! We struggled every time we went out in public. I am thankful that I found the Professional Development Institute of California. They sent a Specialist out that taught me how to prepare my son when going into the community, and then showed me what to do once we were there. I will be calling again when the next behavioral challenge arises!" - Janet S.
"PDIC helped me to understand my child's IEP. I was unsure of how to work with him on certain skills at home. After consulting with one of their Specialists, I was able to understand excatly how to work with my child on his IEP goals, and how to make sure he was making progress in school and at home. Thank you!" - Amanda C.
Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself.
Its what you do for others.

"My Math tutor Mr. McKee really helped me understand my 7th grade Algebra. He took the time to take each problem and break it down step by step. He made it fun too. I feel confident now to tackle Algebra and any problems that come my way. Thank you Brooks." - Ryan Kennedy
