"I appreciate your teaching methods. Your passion and expertise is obvious in the way you present the information. I look forward to learning more with you through other courses! The knowledge I gain helps me to be more thorough and clear when I explain OT goals and interventions to families. I feel that I have been aware of the interventions you discuss for some time, but I am now more prepared and ready to implement it on a regular basis! Simone Le Claire Canada"
