"Why didn't I learn this information sooner!!! I feel that with this information and clinical instruction, I already can be a more effective therapist."
"I feel rejuvenated as a therapist. I am so excited to go back and put my knowledge to use. I wish I would have attended this course earlier in my career and would have been able to provide my patients more quality treatment."
"All four days I kept thinking - why didn't I take this course before? I could have helped so many of my clients who were not happy to be discharged from my care, but I had to because I had seen them long enough and I couldn't do any more for them."
"I would highly recommend this course to any OT, PT, or SLP. Thank you for your time and sparking my interest to incorporate the technique. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to take this course."
"This was a great course and I am glad I did it at the beginning of my career."
"The course was very informative. I enjoyed the hands-on labs since I am a visual/tactile learner."
"Loved the course. Can't wait for Parts III and IV."
"Thank you for providing a course that is appropriate for a variety of skill levels and one that can be immediately utilized at the completion of the course. And the complete handouts are excellent! Best ever!"
"Loved that the traditional 'segmentation (UEvsLE)' of the person for OTvs.PT was 'dispelled'. Wish all of my colleagues took this course."
