The presenter provided a lot of very useful and immediately applicable information, especially considering the time allotted, in a very clear, simple and concise way. I even gained additional insight into the development of Social Stories through her brief mention of it moreso than 2 previously taken sessions that had Social Stories as its main focus. Her vocal inflection was engaging, so she was a pleasure to listen to and kept my attention. She provided sufficient examples of the various strategies presented and wonderful tools and additional research that can readily be followed up on. Great presentation! Thank you!
