This applies to so many things I have been considering with a variety of clients: 5 yer olds with language delays, 10 year olds with ADD, Seniors with memory issues and teaching bilingual adults to better understand how and why to combine sentences. I will put this knowledge into use immediately. Can't wait to hear the September course follow up.

by

The content was important, but it was difficult to follow as the presenter was discussing high level topics often times without examples. At times, I wasn't quite sure what she was attempting to explain and she did not give examples to increase comprehension. The slides were organized and informative, but it would have helped (and been more interesting and meaningful) if she had used examples directly from therapy sessions.
