I found your course incredibly informative and a game-changer on how I can help my daughter! Learning practical techniques and hearing someone articulate how she may be feeling with writing is empowering. I can use these techniques at home and even help her teachers identify when she may need a break or a simple word of encouragement. Thank you for this workshop and for sharing your expertise!
