Maude’s pearls of wisdom are one by one being incorporated into my everyday clinical practice, stretching my awareness and enabling me to be mindful of more and more layers that underpin development & remediation. I am humbled, inspired, mentally challenged and ever grateful for this.

Maude, you have a beautiful way of presenting. Your experience and practical advice of creating an individual intervention process was very clear, helpful and encouraging. Even the tone of your voice has a calming, engaging way that makes the on ine interaction from so far away feel up close and personal.
