"When we began our collaboration, All Kinds of Minds was a five-person startup, and Dr. Mel Levine was a complete unknown. Linda Devillier, Merri Oxley and Gail Rubin developed a public relations strategy for the Institute that quickly increased our visibility, ultimately generating more than 220 million impressions by March 2006. Through it all, Linda, Merri, and Gail have been a pleasure to work with. They have been truly consummate professionals and committed advocates in supporting our efforts to reorient America’s educational system to better support children who struggle with differences in learning. The next generation of kids will be eternally in their debt. "
