"The following is a review of Resilience Facilitation Services LLC. The experience was exceptional. Carola, the independent facilitator, played a critical role in the success of our project. Her proactive approach and excellent communication skills greatly contributed to the outcome. She demonstrated an ability to adapt to changes, make strategic decisions, and display an undeniable commitment to the project. Carola's in-depth knowledge of the subject and her ability to simplify complex concepts significantly facilitated our understanding. Ultimately, she not only met but exceeded our expectations, providing high-quality service with a personal and professional touch. We would highly recommend her services without hesitation."

"When my son was entering his second year of Self Determination,

I felt just as confused and overwhelmed as I did the first year. I dreaded the process. After working with Carola as our Independent Facilitator, I no longer feel that way. From our first meeting, I knew I had made the absolute right choice. Carola patiently explained the process step by step. She assured me that we were in good hands, and indeed we were. Carola made every effort to understand my son, our family and our needs so that she could assist us in obtaining the very best Budget we could in order to see my son absolutely thrive. Carola always treated us with the utmost respect and kindness. She went above and beyond what I expected and obtained a result I could not

have imagined. Her wise recommendations, and her way of thinking outside of the box are what ultimately resulted in a Budget and Spending Plan that will be truly life changing for my son. She saw potential in him and offered ideas that I believe led us to entering our second year of the SD Program with the resources needed to really make a significant difference in my son’s and by extension, our family’s life. Carola is highly skilled in negotiating with Regional Centers since she clearly knows exactly what must be done and when. She has an amazing ability to foresee any potential issues that might potentially arise and she puts a plan in place to overcome these issues. I saw every opposition our Regional Center produced fall when she brought the facts. It was a beautiful thing to see! Carola was and continues to be a strong, effective, loyal Advocate for us. I would highly recommend Resilience Facilitation when looking for an Independent Facilitator."

"We are pleased to share our highly positive experience with Carola Camacho, who is an excellent Independent Facilitator of the Self-Determination Program. As parents, we faced different challenges when beginning the process of incorporating our first child into the Self-Determination Program. Understanding the process was complicated, and there were significant delays in accessing the services that initially identified needs and supports.

It is essential to have adequate advice in this process. Carola showed empathy towards our situation and became our Independent Facilitator. This was crucial in identifying the deficiencies we faced when we did not have her support. Thanks to her experience, we obtained a more equitable budget for our son, allowing him to access the services he needs.

When we decided to enroll our second child in the program, we did not hesitate to have Carola as an Independent Facilitator again. Additionally, the advantage of working with Carola is that she speaks Spanish, which facilitates our understanding of the information related to the program.

We highly recommend the services of Carola Camacho as an Independent Facilitator due to her knowledge, experience, and professionalism."

"What makes Carola's services so unique and high-quality isn't *just* that she speaks Spanish fluently and is acutely aware of the needs of the Hispanic community, or that she intricately understands the realities, challenges, and beauties of the developmental disability world as a parent of two individuals receiving Regional Center services herself. It's more than that; it's how she weaves together services that are truly creative and person-centered. It's that everything she does is grounded in empathy, and that she is constantly seeking to do and be better for herself, her children, her clients, and the community at large. She has a gift for reaching people and centering them, and anyone who is lucky enough to work with her will come away stronger and touched by the experience."

"Carola Maranon is a GEM and leader in the California Independent Facilitator arena. Carola has both lived and IF experience navigating the Traditional and Self Determination Systems in Regional Centers throughout the state, and experience navigating California generic resources. This wealth of information, combined with her communication skills in Spanish, English and French make Carola uniquely qualified to help Self-Advocates transition into and navigate Self Determination. Carola is an accomplished SDP trainer, with both content creation, facilitation and training in Spanish and English. I would not hesitate to engage Resilience Facilitation Services as my Independent Facilitator."
