"The sign word choice and chaining that excluded "more". I had never thought about those base signs not being the best starting point. The entire course was very inciteful to help me develop some new skills and shuck off some old habits in my therapy. It was applicable to my current caseload of students and presented informative pieces I can implement immediately. I thought it was great. I often find that sometimes Online Courses on this subject matter become too heavy with referencing of studies and do not provide in-depth and practical information like this course did." M.R. (Jun. 2021)

"This had to be one of my favorite online courses. She was so knowledgeable and engaging. I learned strategies that I can try the next day in therapy without having to go out and buy stuff. I did so much self-reflecting throughout the course and I wish more courses did that. We need to stop and think about our practices and effectiveness. We need to try different methods. I loved her videos of the social groups where she was teaching her students to reflect. I would highly recommend this course to my coworkers." A.Y. (May 2021)
