Why people believe in Special Ed Rising
Mark, your compassion and caring for kids are some of the reasons you mean so much to us. You are always there if we need a friendly ear or shoulder to lean on. There aren’t many people today who have or make the time but you always did and do. Will check your site often. God Bless.

I’m continually impressed by the depth of your conversations and your genuine care for the families you work with. The way you create space for authentic dialogue really resonates with me, especially coming from your 30+ years in Deaf education.

The pleasure was all mine…I am so impressed by what you’re doing and the support you’re giving so many families. Will definitely take you up on some tips!
Clarissa Ward, CNN Chief International Correspondant
Mark, you were a HUGE and I mean HUGE impact on my daughter. You teaching her math that was unclear in the curriculum was probably the most amazing thing I saw in her education!! You saw strength in her and even though she couldn’t’ sign or understand in the beginning at age 3…You saw it in her eyes when you went higher…she followed…I will never forget that.
I listened to your behavior modification episode today. Wow! Wow and wow… How educational, helpful and informative. It really makes complete sense as a parent with two children who have special needs. It comes together like pieces of a puzzle.
Melanie F., Parent
Hey Mark thank you so much I am so happy that I requested a guy and that you were sent to us!

It was a honor speaking with Mark Ingrassia of SpecialEd Rising about ways for parents to help their children improve their executive functioning skills.
Evan Weinberger
National Speaker, Edu Consultant
I really appreciated the encouragement of room for error/experimentation on the road to success. What you bring — to an individual child/parent/situation, and to the therapeutic space in general — is so needed, valuable and reassuring. The fact that you also speak from a male perspective in arenas often dominated by female ones is an important contribution.
Beth, Parent
Mr. Ingrassia was recommended to provide home services for my son to assist with behavioral issues, help generalize self-care and other independent living skills to the home and community environment.
I am pleased to say that my son showed signs of improvement and growth almost immediately. Not only did he gain independence, his behaviors decreased. With the tools we were given, we were able to help him maintain those skills. My son is now independent in his morning self-care routine before leaving the house for the day, regularly packs and unpacks his own backpack for day program, helps set the table, vacuum and dust and wash, dry, fold and put away his own laundry. Additionally, Mr. Ingrassia assisted us and our son in learning patience at the doctor’s office and overcoming his fear of the dentist and having his blood drawn.
Margot E., Parent
You continue to impress me with your meaningful and amazing work. Your second act is as good as your first act! And that was exceptional.

I wanted to extend my heartfelt thanks for inviting me onto your podcast. The experience was truly enriching, and I must say it ranks as one of the most engaging and insightful interviews I’ve ever participated in… you’ve done a fantastic job…Your dedication and effort truly shine through.

…You are the BEST…I am so lucky to have your support.
Christine, Parent
I just finished listening to your podcast on social stories and it was really fantastic. All your information references, examples and of course, your voice quality and sensibility is coming from your heart. I loved it! I will go back and listen to the ones I didn’t listen to.
Emily, Listener
I just listened to your latest episode of your podcast, where you highlighted your efforts towards advocating for common-sense gun laws. Your journey with Moms Demand Action and sharing that impactful ride to Albany really showcases your dedication to meaningful change. It’s truly moving to see how you transform storytelling into action.
