What others have said:

  • “It’s been the most comprehensive workshop I have attended in years!”

  • "The seminar was absolutely fantastic! We lapped up every word you said, and felt we had really taken our understanding to the next level. Thank you so much."

  • "We started with only a very general knowledge of sensory processing, emotional development, etc, and you helped us understand these things with much more depth and nuance, so that we will be able to see a specific child's specific needs and strengths and work with them in specific ways, and that's exactly what we were hoping for! I really hope you'll have the opportunity to use this presentation again with lots more teachers!"
