River Bend Education District

All of the teachers are nice, but it's really stinky.

I made it a personal value to never leave a review with less than 5 stars for a business, but our experience with this district and those who are currently in power has been abhorrent. The kind of positivity that should be inherently awarded to small businesses does not apply to powerful agencies. This is a protected, governmentally funded entity that can uproot your sense of safety. This district became involved in our lives after I reached out to them for help. Please think twice or thrice before allowing this district access to your children. The employees who came to our home, who head B-3 services, misnamed my son on our forms, left a hearing probe in his ear (which we only caught after they left and was removed with a tweezer), put another familys address on our IFSP, misgendered our baby as a girl, rather than a boy, put down a false age for him (thereby shifting the qualifications of the exam), and they grabbed another one of our children by the arm in front of my husband. They also left official school forms on our porch without us there to grab them, unsealed. Most of these are serious FERPA violations. At worst, it is intentional malice, at best its blatant ineptitude. Worst of all, they submitted falsified and frivolous reports to the county regarding alleged supervision concerns about our older son for playing in our yard and on our porch (luckily the county sided with us and told us the reports were careless). Not everyone else could be so lucky, especially in such an elite community. I get the sense that my familys anger has been personalized by the aggressors as THEIR victimization. As if their jobs are somehow more important than the trauma theyve caused us, and we are hurting THEM by being hurt. Its unacceptable and unprofessional. The abuse of power is repugnant. The reputation laundering occurring now by the B-3 heads in the form of begging for good reviews only forwards their monopolizing of disability services for our region. This approach is not dignified or honest. Congratulations to those of you fortunate enough to have a positive experience with these two employees. We wished for the same thing, but their bias and disregard got in the way of their ability to treat us kindly and with respect.

We couldn't have been more impressed by the Zero to Three Early Intervention services our child received from the staff at RBED. The entire team worked together flawlessly. We were able to meet right in our child's daycare setting. The River Bend therapists worked with not only us but also the daycare staff, so we were all focusing on the same goals each session. When our child turned 3, they helped us transition to and navigate the special education programs of the school.
