Testimonials

My knowledge about Autism doubled. Thank you for sharing the different levels and about proprioceptive and vestibular sensory systems. That explains the behavior I observed from some students.

The examples and videos were the most helpful!

Well presented course. Speakers were engaged and knowledgeable. Really a great experience and I highly recommend the class not only to educators and families but anyone wanting to learn more about autism.
