"I liked the breakdown of grammar structures. This course was rich with real-life examples." E.F. (Dec. 2023)

"A deeper understanding beyond what my own research taught me over the last 15 years. I always was fascinated by gestalt language learning and this course gave me a whole new perspective on typical development on the NLA framework. My own son is Autistic and is a gestalt language learner. At 12 he has taken me through every stage right along with him and is the reason I even had a clue how to approach gestalt language and echolalia when I first learned about it. I liked being able to go back and forth with the modules and being able to keep them in my account to rewatch as needed." L.B. (Dec. 2023)

"The understanding of Gestalt language and its non-literal meaning. Marge was an amazing speaker." A.S. (Dec. 2023)

"The whole idea of Gestalt Language Processor was beneficial. I have been thinking that children with Autism were using scripts to communicate, and they wanted to be a part of conversations, so they quoted scripts. This course confirmed this and also opened my eyes to the power of the child choosing movie clips to communicate. Also, it has changed the way I have approached therapy. The first child told me thank you for playing with me. They valued that so much. One child was going to be dismissed from lack of progress, and she began to make eye contact and engage with me. She even tried to feed me during play." M.S. (Aug. 2023)

"All sections add relevant information for anyone who knows, loves, or works with a gestalt language processor. Discusses "why" and importance and significance of the impact of proper, in-depth understanding of echolalia and gestalt language processing and natural language acquisition.

"The entire course as a whole helps to restore humanity. You can't discuss NLA without also acknowledging that we need to be more finely tuned into the fact that our echolalic students have been communicating this whole time. This course doesn't just offer information but a new perspective on humanity. It has encouraged me to slow down and appreciate all that our students say and all they are. It is so tempting (in the name of financial survival) to go about the day's scheduled sessions with goals and agendas in mind... without stopping to smell the roses (appreciating our students and how they think)." R.M. (Jul. 2023)

"This Level 3 course I found to be the most informative and helpful. I really liked this course so much, that I purchased the book as well.

"I enjoyed all of it and found specifics to therapy and goal writing particularly helpful. I also liked hearing from parents." B.C. (Jun. 2023)

"So much was beneficial. Two things stand out: 1. Deepen my listening to understand the meaning in the gestalts. 2. Use language sampling routinely in practice with NLA in students with echolalia. I also liked the stories from parents and SLPs." K.A. (Jun. 2023)

"Reminder that gestalt processing individuals have a lot to communicate if we are listening. I liked the humanity presented by talking about each child's unique abilities and personalities that came out more as they were able to communicate more." T.H. (Jun. 2023)

"Section 4 was very helpful. It helped me understand NLA Stage 3 (and 4) much better." M.G. (May 2023)

"The explanation of how to score language samples so that progress can be documented was helpful. Also, seeing the examples of the clinician working with the child and the responses she used in response to what the child has said was also helpful in understanding how to incorporate this method with my students." L.H. (May 2023)

"This course was well presented with many examples of the children that this approach has been used with. Seeing their progress helps us better understand how this approach can help them." L.H. (May 2023)

"Examples of scoring and mitigation were beneficial. I liked the stories and examples, the hope." S.C. (Jan. 2023)

"Examples and videos of actual children and therapy sessions were very helpful. Reading about NLA and trying to apply it to my therapy sessions was difficult at first. After watching the videos and hearing about "real" kids and therapists, I felt much more confident. This course definitely helped me to really grasp the big picture." J.S. (Jan. 2023)

"I just love learning everything and anything I can about NLA and gestalt language learners. NLA is completely changing my therapy with all of my clients. It's amazing! It's like...YES! This is it. This makes so much more sense than what I was trying to do before!" J.S. (Jan. 2023)

"I loved all the parent and client perspectives. I feel like this is missing from many courses I've taken! In daily practice, this reminds me to always value the family's goals and vision." A.L. (Jan. 2023)

"I liked the examples of therapy, and the integration with principles of autonomy and self-regulation for children who have autism. I liked the use of dialogue and interaction between Marge and colleagues/collaborators." J.A. (Jan. 2023)

"I liked the video examples and the section about moving through stages 1-4." C.L. (Jan. 2023)

"For me, thinking about one student on my caseload, I now know what direction to go in. I will start by taking a language sample, and now I can make a real plan. I loved the videos and stories from parents, SLPs and the clients." H.D. (Jan. 2023)

"Marge's LOVE for her clients is so evident." E.S. (Dec. 2022)

"I absolutely loved this course and I learned so much! I loved how this course was organized and presented. Marge speaking on video from her clinic, conversations between Marge and Linda (loved listening to and watching Linda!), other conversations/interviews, sharing of so much important and relevant information which was clearly and thoroughly explained, and videos of the kids. Thank you!!"💜 K.D. (Dec. 2022)

"I liked the practical application of how to work with gestalt processors." S.G. (Dec. 2022)

"The information about how to help gestalt language processors develop generative grammar was helpful. Liked Marge's enthusiasm for her clients and the NLA approach!" M.P. (Dec. 2022)

"Recognizing Echolalia as a form of communication. The presenter has a very calm delivery. Easy to understand. Nice video examples." J.F. (Dec. 2022)

"I enjoyed the NLA transitioning to DSS and the video examples." E.M. (Dec. 2022)

"Course went through the role of echolalia in Gestalt language development. Sample videos of therapy using gestalt language models with a variety of different clients was very helpful." M.F. (Dec. 2022)

"Identifying mitigations and using concepts within this course will be helpful. And the additive concepts to support pre-sentence grammar - really helping/supporting a child at the stage 3 level." C.I. (Dec. 2022)

"I liked the discussion of DST and DSS and the videos of children and of the parents." T.G. (Dec. 2022)

"Good explanation of how Gestalt Language Processors learn language differently and that echolalia is not disordered language acquisition. I liked the true examples of how gestalts are used to communicate different concepts/thoughts." C.D. (Nov. 2022)

"Learning about grammar and how to analyze appropriately. Course was easy to pace myself over time. It gave real examples. It was given from many perspectives (SLP, parents, etc.)." L.H. (Nov. 2022)

"I liked seeing Marge's wonderful therapy space." J.D. (Oct. 2022)

"Learning how to use gestalt first in therapy - I've always approached therapy from a play and sensorimotor premise. Seeing how to use gestalt to work backward to the single-word level makes complete sense now! Great videos. Marge is fun to watch and listen to." A.P. (Oct. 2022)

"Good examples and real-world cases. I liked the goals and targets for gestalt language processors." K.R. (Oct. 2022)

"I could pace myself, one class at a time, one session at a time, go back when I felt I did not understand the concept, taking time to process and implement the information." D.C. (Oct. 2022)

"I liked the client examples and references from other clinicians to their own learning through practice." S.A. (Oct. 2022)

"The course allowed me to learn at my own pace and take in information from current clients to apply. Liked the goals and how you integrate the goals into specific therapy." M.C. (Oct. 2022)

"The course was systematically presented. Learning the grammar development with respect to gestalt language processing was beneficial." A.H. (Sept. 2022)

"I loved learning more about the sensory techniques to help boost my speech sessions! Of course, learning about the gestalt language processing is why I came here too. :)" T.R. (Sept. 2022)

"It validated and put names to what I felt about working with children with autism. I have always believed in a play based language focus and I feel with all of this new research, it is validating."  D.B. (Sept. 2022)

"I very much enjoyed seeing client examples and video clips of the different types of gestalts. The video examples of the clients (especially Jez and Zoe) and clinicians helped NLA and gestalt language processing come to life! Additionally, I was happy to see the information about moving away from that traditional model of therapy and moving into a more neurodiverse-affirming, child led, and affirming interests, thoughts, feelings, and echolalia as unique beautiful parts of our clients. More and more clinicians, parents, and educators need to know more about this. Accepting our kids as they are, validating their ways of thinking, feeling, and communicating is life-changing!!"  J.B. (Sept. 2022)

"This course has been crucial to enhancing my therapy skills with GLPs. I liked the real life examples."  B.S. (Sept. 2022)

"Best continuing ed course I've ever taken!"  K.S. (Aug. 2022)

"The entire course was very helpful. This gave me a structure of how to educate my co-workers about gestalt language and how to describe this best to families. The course will definitely help me with better goal writing and focusing more on mitigation and stage 3, when the kids are ready. The grammar section was great - I had no idea that you can introduce verbs too early, and this will be the biggest shift in my practice." E.K. (July  2022)

"I liked that I could take the course at my own pace." M.L. (July 2022)

"Highly applicable to supporting my students." L.W. (July 2022)

"I found the information about sensory integration very important. Also the explanation of individual treatment sessions was helpful. I really liked the perspective coming from a mother. MAN, her smile could light up the world." J.R. (July 2022)

"Learning about the hidden meaning in gestalts, learning how to individualize treatment for GLPs. I like that it targets an area that I really needed to learn more about!" M.M. (July 2022)

"I feel that the bulk of my caseload consists of NLA processors and I can already see that shifting my focus of intervention is improving their willingness to engage and communicate in the context of treatment sessions." L.G. (July 2022)

"Extremely detailed and informative. I liked all of the content." D.T. (July 2022)

"This course was enriching and inspiring." R.S. (July 2022)

"Oh my goodness. ALL of it. I wish that I had this all ten years ago. I knew the term gestalt and that some kids learned language as "wholes" but I never knew what to do with that information. The DST and DSS were also new to me (or maybe long forgotten?). This is a game changer in my work with autistic students!" S.C. (June 2022)

"I loved the videos of clinicians at work with kids." K.C. (June 2022)

"The section on sensory regulation was very helpful. It was also very useful to learn a bit about how AAC can be used with GLPs.  I loved how in-depth this course was. I also really appreciated all of the case studies/real-life examples." J.W. (June 2022)

"Big emphasis on relationship and connection was very well portrayed throughout." T.S. (June 2022)

"Everything was great! From the basics to the client videos and especially the parent perspective. I appreciated so much that Marge presented primarily from her speech center and not from behind a desk." S.L. (May 2022)

"I liked learning about the differences between gestalt and analytic language processors as well as employing more appropriate language strategies for gestalt language processors." S.L. (May 2022)

"I liked both the specific 'how to' of scoring the NLA and DSS, and also the more general perspective of respecting gestalt processors. The guest speakers helped break up the course." G.H. (May 2022)

"I liked the real life examples – seeing it in action is so much more beneficial than hearing what to do." K.M. (May 2022)

"I am astonished that I have been practicing for almost 25 years with this population and knew nothing about NLA. I liked Marge's easy, loving, joyful, sensory-filled approach to therapy. I began in a rehab center collaborating with OTs and PTs and have felt that it was right for my kids. I did not always get a lot of support even when that positive results were evident. Now, I have the validation and immediately added a trampoline and BIG JOE pillow to my not very big, but very fun playroom." K.K. (May 2022)

"I liked all of it, especially the information on moving into stage 3 and the grammar section with the DSS and DST." C.K. (May 2022)

"I liked the video examples and parent stories." H.J. (Apr. 2022)

"Enlightenment onto the importance of echolalia as acceptable, part of a child's development, and how vital they are for "connecting" to others. Seeing the PASSION in of all the therapists when doing their job, when connecting with their clients...the passion to succeed in communicating with ASD kiddos and adults." A.B. (Mar. 2022)

"I liked the examples of how to mitigate at stage 3 - Marge's DSS chart." D.S. (Mar. 2022)

"I liked the developmental sentence scoring, and the ease of access of the course. " J.C. (Mar. 2022)

"I currently have a student with Autism and he is echolalic. I now have the knowledge to teach him language." D.C. (Mar. 2022)

"I loved all of it! Especially the grammar section." J.S. (Mar. 2022)

"I currently have a student who needs to begin to move from Level 2 to Level 3. This course was very helpful in helping me plan my therapy. I liked the content because it addressed treatment and gave many examples of techniques being used. I also liked that it was recorded and that I could work at my own pace." M.C. (Mar. 2022)

"I liked how to model gestalts that can be easily mitigated to move a child from stage 1 to stage 2." K.P. (Feb. 2022)

"I appreciated the deep dives into various specific cases to see different ways GLPs can sound and different ways NLA approaches can be implemented. I love REALLY picking apart language development, and this course went full speech nerd with me."  S.L. (Feb. 2022)

"I liked all of it – real life examples. It was perfect!." D.B. (Feb. 2022)

"There was soooo much in this course that will impact my practice. I am re-visiting the way I write goals for my gestalt processors and trying to follow the NLA skill progressions. It's amazing how much more engaged children are when I follow their lead and don't force artificial/unreasonable expectations (e.g., all the sentence strips).  I appreciated the video examples and the parent input." D.M. (Jan. 2022)

"Level 3 of the NLA courses is a must for every SLP working with children who are gestalt language processors. Levels 1 and 2 allowed us to learn the NLA stages and guiding treatment principles. In this Level 3 course we learn how to individualize NLA intervention for specific clients with a host of differences, how and why to incorporate movement, and the power of grammar. Marge eloquently guides this course as we learn to tailor NLA intervention to meet the needs of real children and their families within meaningful and engaging contexts, ultimately fostering sincere and organic expression." C.H.

"With the background of knowing about NLA assessment and stages, the level three course gave me an understanding of how to incorporate this knowledge into treatment. I am able to set up an affirming environment for reciprocal, self-generated language without relying on frustrating techniques such as withholding items." E.F.

"Marge Blanc does it again! This course is a phenomenal in-depth deep-dive into all the areas the first two courses left you wondering about. We can truly wrap our heads around Stages 3 and 4, and it all makes so much sense! The case studies are incredible, and really help solidify and put into action all that Marge teaches. Every single pediatric SLP needs this information. It really should be required coursework in graduate school." A.Z.

"I enjoyed the goal-oriented approach and all the real-world therapy ideas. The presenter was very knowledgeable and engaging." T.N. (Sep. 2024)

"Teaching the speech mechanism first and desensitizing was a beneficial topic. I enjoyed the information and treating more than just fluency but the whole child." D.R. (Aug. 2024)

"This presenter is amazing. He has great insight and helpful tips to incorporate into my sessions. Everything the presenter provided was very helpful and I will utilize the information in my sessions." S.H. (Jul. 2024)

"Specific ideas for treatment activities were helpful. I liked the resources provided and the description of treatment goals and activities." K.T. (Jul. 2024)

"The treatment strategies WOW! I liked all the information in this course." P.C. (Jul. 2024)

"Well-explained goals to target. Very well paced with practical info." M.K. (Jul. 2024)

"Treatment activities were helpful. I enjoyed the instructor." L.G. (Jun. 2024)

"I liked discussing that stuttering is more than just stuttering. We must look at the entire effect that stuttering has on other areas of a person who stutters in life. The presenter was knowledgeable and engaging and provided valuable information that can be implemented by clinicians immediately." L.J. (Jun. 2024)

"The principle of supporting students who stutter develop proprioceptive awareness of where tension is located in their speech mechanism and using that to engage in voluntary stuttering and help incorporate stuttering modification techniques while speaking. I loved the practicality of the course. I could use and apply all of these lessons right away with my clients." W.R. (Jun. 2024)

"I enjoyed the topics addressing bullying and education to peers. Scott Yaruss has a very easy to understand way of explaining information and really made it useful on a practical level to implement these strategies and goals." J.T. (Jun. 2024)

"I really appreciated learning about having children take on the role of being the teacher to educate parents and teachers. This presentation was presented in a really great way that was easy to follow. More importantly, it kept my attention from the beginning to the very end. The presenter is very knowledgeable in the field of stuttering." M.C. (Jun. 2024)

"The practical activities were beneficial." L.B. (Jun. 2024)

"The goals and how to address them! I enjoyed everything!" S.K. (May 2024)

"The desensitization strategies were very interesting and I think will apply to many different aspects of daily practice. I like how the strategies were broken up into their own slides." C.C. (May 2024)

"Starting points for fluency data were beneficial. I liked that I could conquer this course at my own pace." S.B. (May 2024)

"Techniques and sample goal writing were helpful. The flow of information was easy to follow and understand." D.G. (Apr. 2024)

"The concrete examples and activities were beneficial. I enjoyed discussing the way to frame stuttering for the parents." C.D. (Mar. 2024)

"All of the course was extremely helpful and very practical. I loved how organized this presentation was and how the speaker had himself in a small video on the screen with the powerpoints as well because it made it more interesting to watch and listen to. He was a very good communicator and an excellent teacher. I would have loved to have him as a professor way back when I was in school." L.C. (Mar. 2024)

"I liked the discussion on managing stuttering as opposed to trying to cure it." A.L. (Feb. 2024)

"I really loved the entire course. I've been on a several-year quest to become more confident and better equipped to help my students who stutter. This reinforced for me that I'm on the right track with my methods. It highlighted the importance of spending more time on the foundational groundwork. I also loved the sections about practicing handling bullying, as well as the topics brought up about parents." V.L. (Feb. 2024)

"The activities and guidelines were practical and useful. This course really delivered in what I'm always hoping for, which is getting right to the meat and potatoes. I loved the way the instructor spoke, like he was talking to you. He was not "presenting a slide show" and reading like a robot. He was very real and honest and gave practical strategies and information that could be used immediately." V.L. (Feb. 2024)

"Helping students deal with bullying that is the result of their stuttering was a beneficial topic. The speaker was animated and seemed personable." L.G. (Feb. 2024)

"I work with school-aged students with a wide array of disorders, including fluency, therefore this course is applicable. Having the outline of possible goals for these students is very helpful in planning my approach to treatment. I liked the example of goals sections spread across each area covered." D.K. (Feb. 2024)

"Scott's continued repetition of the importance of desensitization and helping the student to become accountable to self - not to do what parents or teachers think is best for the student was beneficial. Wonderful practical examples of how to implement strategies. I liked the goals written that reflect current IEP standards." T.A. (Feb. 2024)

"Discussing fluency treatment was beneficial. The presenter was very knowledgeable." A.W. (Jan. 2024)

"Desensitization was a helpful topic. I liked the presenter." S.S. (Jan. 2024)

"The topic that I found most helpful was why we practice the pseudostutter. Learning about how to desensitize stuttering really helped me understand why it's important. I like how in-depth this training goes with examples and reasoning behind why and how we approach the strategies. It's important to know that we can't only focus on the strategies, but stuttering as a whole." S.R. (Jan. 2024)

"The presenter was awesome, very knowledgeable, and had excellent ideas on what to do for dysfluency." K.S. (Jan. 2024)

"I liked the discussion of desensitization being the foundation of everything." C.H. (Dec. 2023)

"Beneficial discussion that fluency is not the main focus of therapy, but more emphasis should be placed on being a good communicator. Excellent handout and manner in which the information was presented." S.F. (Dec. 2023)

"I liked the discussion on how to explain stuttering to a client. This course was practical and easy to understand." M.D. (Dec. 2023)

"Simple strategies and practices. Beneficial discussion of treating each individual, not same for every student that stutters." E.B. (Dec. 2023)

"I enjoyed the high level of knowledge of the presenter. Desensitization and awareness were beneficial to discuss." S.S. (Dec. 2023)

"I liked the idea of foundational teaching at the beginning of treatment, especially the speech machine concept. Loved the presenter's way of teaching! Very easy to follow and excellent information!" A.Y. (Dec. 2023)

"Beneficial topics included describing stuttering, treatment activities, and stuttering vs. fluency. I liked how engaged and interested the speaker was on this topic. It made it easier to listen to the course!" M.E. (Dec. 2023)

"Dr. Yaruss is an engaging speaker. I enjoyed the clarity and comprehensiveness of the presentation. ICF approach; the concept of making talking easier rather than maximizing fluency." A.D. (Dec. 2023)

"I liked the presenter's attitude and openness." K.S. (Dec. 2023)

"I liked that this was geared towards the school-age population. I very much enjoyed the materials and presentation." T.D. (Dec. 2023)

"LOTS of practical activities laid out in a methodical manner. My big take away was to be methodical in working through the 10 goals and not to jump around; that the student needs a solid foundation in order to achieve some generalization." C.H. (Nov. 2023)

"I have several students who stutter on my caseload currently, and this course has helped me to reframe my thinking on how best to support them during therapy sessions, and also how to select goals/topics to discuss to help them learn more about their speech. The presenter was conversational and provided many great examples and analogies that I feel I can use with my students to help connect with them and support their journey to making speech easier." R.S. (Nov. 2023)

"This course was super informative, and the speaker was highly knowledgeable." M.M. (Nov. 2023)

"One of the best online courses I've ever taken. Love the goal writing tips, the activities, all of it. The speaker is engaging and easy to listen to. He doesn't sound like he's just reading an outline or a script." A.J. (Nov. 2023)

"I liked that the presenter views this therapy as speaking more easily and not improving fluency or decreasing stuttering. I liked the discussion of techniques to address the bigger picture, and I like that I learned things I can directly include in my therapy." K.W. (Nov. 2023)

"Goals, treatment activities, & parent/teacher advice. I liked this approach being child/student-led and viewing it through the lens of trying to have effective communication as the overall goal, as opposed to decreasing stuttering events/increasing fluency." M.S. (Nov. 2023)

"How to write relevant goals. Teaching the speech mechanism to the point that the child could teach others. Keeping us up-to-date on things that have changed." S.L. (Nov. 2023)

"Great instruction on actual therapy activities and how/when to do them. SO much useful information." M.S. (Nov. 2023)

"Dr. Yaruss is a charismatic teacher. I liked the updated research." J.P. (Nov. 2023)

"I liked the treatment goals that were reviewed. The presenter was very clear with his course objectives." R.A. (Nov. 2023)

"The information presented by Dr. Yaruss is so extremely useable and relatable to me as a school-based SLP. His techniques and strategies are ones I can take into the therapy room tomorrow! Discussing the importance of teaching desensitization to stuttering throughout the treatment process and what effects this has on a child who stutters was beneficial." W.H. (Oct. 2023)

"The presenter was very knowledgeable and easy to listen to. Staying on the foundation of stuttering was beneficial, i.e., how they stutter, before going on to fluency techniques." A.S. (Oct. 2023)

"The goals and parent/family involvement tips were beneficial. I liked the course format, tips, ease and convenience." T.W. (Sep. 2023)

"Enjoyed the goals and activities. And the specific interventions." S.C. (Sep. 2023)

"Learning the step by step process for addressing stuttering and all components was helpful. I liked that this course did not focus just on techniques and addressed the ICF model, acknowledging that we aren't going to CURE stuttering, but how we can really help!" K.S. (Sep. 2023)

"Knowing how important it is for students to understand the "speech machine" as well as supporting them socially and pragmatically especially bullying. Dr. Yaruss was such a wonderful presenter. I really enjoyed learning from him, not only the content of the topic, but also the way he presented." M.M. (Sep. 2023)

"The presenter was passionate about helping students who stutter. It was beneficial to discuss letting the student be the teacher of parents, teachers, and bullies...with the aid of therapist and other school staff." A.B. (Aug. 2023)

"Good information and easy to listen to." J.B. (Aug. 2023)

"Very detailed presentation with lots of examples, like having children write a letter to their teacher, dealing with bullying in an efficient way." A.R. (Aug. 2023)

"I liked the activities outlined throughout this course. The examples/analogies provided will be very useful in my future practice." G.S. (Aug. 2023)

"I liked the explanation of the therapy techniques and the goals provided." T.G. (Aug. 2023)

"How to address bullying and how to work on de-sensitization were beneficial topics. I liked the presenter's explanation of the big picture of stuttering." M.K. (Jul. 2023)

"Very practical! Clearly, the presenter enjoys his work and wants to help other SLPs to feel comfortable with working with individuals who stutter. I love the idea of having the individual reenact the therapy session every session! I can see multiple benefits of that - family/significant other education and support, ownership of their stuttering treatment, reinforcement, and practice of what was learned." S.P. (Jul. 2023)

"I liked the explanation of the stuttering modification techniques and how they are related, and sometimes the same as fluency enhancing. I liked the activities and goals provided. I have a couple students who stutter and this progression will be helpful for them. I liked how this course addressed the parents and teachers acceptance and knowledge of stuttering as it is difficult to find time to contact them." M.E. (Jul. 2023)

"There were a variety of activities for me to use with students of all ages, and I appreciated the information regarding talking to parents as well as the strategies to deal with bullying. I have used "speech machine" discussion and pictures but will have students draw their own, reducing the use of word "fluency" and instead talk about the ease of fluency. I also will use the strategy of "teach the teacher." L.H. (Jul. 2023)

"The order of goals was beneficial, and I liked the exact goal list and rationale." N.G. (Jul. 2023)

"I liked the discussion of timing and tension along with desensitization. Dr. Yaruss had an easy to listen to way of presenting the information. He clearly shows that he enjoys working with individuals who stutter and conveys this in such a way that makes the clinician more confident on taking on individuals who stutter." E.V. (Jun. 2023)

"ALL OF IT! Knowing why and how to use these goals is extremely helpful in understanding the goals set by the SLPs that I work with (I'm a Communicative Disorders Assistant). I liked how useful and practical all of the information is." L.C. (Jun. 2023)

"Engaging speaker. I liked the parent engagement and having the student teach the parents." N.V. (Jun. 2023)

"This course was clear, with written goals and great examples. The discussion around desensitization was very interesting. I will use this with my clients." L.S. (Jun. 2023)

"Writing appropriate goals and examples were beneficial. The presenter was clear and easy to follow. His slides are fantastic and will help me remember key points in the future." K.T. (Jun. 2023)

"Engaging, knowledgeable speaker and valuable information. Interesting format and discussion about working on the entire stuttering experience and not just enhancing fluency." P.S. (Jun. 2023)

"I liked that all the techniques and approaches provided were practical. It was beneficial discussing what to prioritize when beginning stuttering therapy (i.e. desensitization)." A.M. (Jun. 2023)

"This course was very engaging. The examples were excellent and really helped me to process the information." D.B. (May 2023)

"I loved learning about evaluative versus descriptive praise. I often give evaluative praise reflexively (I think that our society uses this a lot because we are taught that this is how we should 'be nice' to others!) However, I noticed that this praise does make kids feel uncomfortable and I wanted a good alternative for that." C.P. (May 2023)

"I liked a lot about this course. The information was helpful and applicable within various situations. The pacing was great! I also enjoyed the anecdotal components to help connect the lessons to interpersonal relationships." C.P. (May 2023)

I liked how the presenter explained every topic, and she provided excellent information in an easy-to-understand way." L.R. (May 2023)

"I especially liked the emphasis on empathy as a starting point for behavior management. Secondarily, I liked the notion of seeing all behaviors in a positive light.

I was engaged and interested throughout the whole presentation. There were so many resources for quick references that I am excited to use." S.R. (Aug. 2022)

"The entire presentation was helpful, especially the portion about showing and using empathy in our words and actions because I know how it feels when my loved ones talk to me without empathy and what that feels like (not very good) and don't want my students to feel that way.

"The A,O,R clauses were beneficial. Great information!" J.R. (Apr. 2024)

"Honestly, being encouraged to start working on this area with much younger children will probably have the greatest impact on my treatment/intervention.

Well-organized course and great use of examples." P.B. (Mar. 2024)

"The book examples were beneficial. Very practical and immediately useful information. Very good presenter." R.C. (Feb. 2024)
