"I have had the privilege of working with Gerry Costa for more than a decade. Gerry has been an esteemed member of the New York Center for Child Development Advisory Board as well as playing a vital training and consultative role on numerous federal, state, city, and philanthropic early childhood grants over the years. He has been an essential member of our team, providing his expertise and knowledge and has generously supported us wherever needed. Dr. Costa blends his clinical knowledge and expertise with an engaging and reflective style that is highly effective in not only transmitting knowledge but also in helping to shape practice. It has been an honor to have such a wonderful partner and colleague to help deepen and guide our work and I am deeply appreciative.
