Two Day Workshop

“This is one of the best courses I have ever taken! It was presented clearly with a logical flow which included important background information and application of skills. The instructor was extremely receptive to questions and successfully used case studies to provide real-life analysis of the strategies being taught.

Definitely a course I would suggest for OTs working with children in a school based setting”
