One of my Team Members just reached out to tell me that she has been using some of your strategies for therapy in the classroom with some of her students in one of her SPED classrooms, and it has made a world of difference in a short amount of time.

Excellent resources and I appreciate you diving deep right down to accessible examples of activities in the classroom. We really appreciate the opportunity you have provided and the information you have brought to our team of SLPs.

The training was very informative and it exceeded our expectations. We took away lots of information we can use immediately along with some that we can consider using to work on district procedures in the future.
