This course was easily one of the best courses I have taken. I came in with an expectation to build on my knowledge AND this happened BUT I didn't expect to expand on every facet on my understanding in this topic. The speaker was exceptional. She was easy to listen to, engaging, and 100% knew her content. She cited research, experience, and was comfortable answering any and all questions. It is hard to make an online course "sticky" but this one stuck. -Nicole Edmonds, PT, DPT, PCS
Liesa's knowledge and experience in addressing more complex sensory and motor developmental issues shines through in her presentations. Her passion is contagious. The webinar was professionally run with seamless connection and engagement with participants. -PT
This speaker was exceptional. The information was well presented and organized. The one "pearl" that I took away is that the sensory systems work together to achieve developmental milestones. So, we should always be looking at the clients holistically! -Carla, OTA
This is a very helpful and informative seminar. A very great and knowledgeable speaker. I learned a lot of useful treatment intervention ideas. Highly recommended !!! -Evelyn, PT
