What educators are saying

"Working with Brian Brutzman is an absolute delight. Brian supports while not judging, gives suggestions and not demands, and he knows his audience and how to provide them tools that will provide positive outcomes for students."

- Elizabeth S., Special Education Teacher, Eaton RESA

"I feel that working with Dr. Brian has helped to make me a better teacher. He taught me to look at what is happening in my classroom through a more holistic lens, balancing education and behavioral science."

- Elizabeth S., Special Education Teacher, Eaton RESA

"My experiences with Brian were nothing short of extremely positive. Brian went above and beyond through frequent conversation with myself and the families we collaborated with. Brian has a true talent of having clear and compassionate communication with families on the difficulties their child was facing and possible causes."

- Randy C., Director Related Services, Maple Valley Schools

"I had the pleasure of working with Brian Brutzman as part of our IEP team when we faced a challenging situation involving a student displaying highly disruptive behavior. Brian conducted a thorough Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) and used the findings to develop a comprehensive Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP) that addressed the student’s needs in a structured and positive manner."

- Amber B., Special Education Director, Potterville Public Schools

"Under Dr. Brutzman’s guidance, students who once struggled to manage their behaviors are now thriving—both academically and socially. His innovative strategies have helped to improve classroom dynamics, enhance communication, and build positive relationships among peers. The results have been nothing short of transformative, not only in terms of behavior management but also in fostering greater independence and confidence in our students."

-Dr. Sarah P., Director of Meadowview Programs, Technical Assistance Provider, Eaton RESA

"Dr. Brutzman’s dedication goes beyond just implementing behavior plans; he takes the time to educate and mentor staff, ensuring that everyone is equipped with the tools and knowledge to maintain positive outcomes. His influence extends beyond the individual students he works with, positively shaping the entire school culture."
