Conference Feedback - January 2011
“I would just like to say that I found this weekend to be extremely informative and motivational. I feel very privileged that I was able to attend such a fantastic workshop and I am looking forward to being part of next year’s conference!!”
“It was a wonderful [conference] for me. I enjoyed everything about it. I left there with a renewed energy and enthusiasm for approaching ASD and our sons treatment. Thanks for all the time and hard work put into this conference. I look forward to next year.”
"My favourite part was being able to step away from the day the day grind, listen to new ideas, reinforce/remember old ideas, and have the time to truly think about the children I work with.”
