Keely, COTA - Lubbock, TX
The content of this course and the presenter's skills were phenomenal. Joani was fabulous at answering questions and maintaining engagement. Alexandria, OTR - Shreveport, LA
Best class I have ever taken (20 years of practice) because Joani was engaging through all demonstrations and helped me have a better idea of what the child is experiencing. It was all beneficial, but I loved the real life examples and there were a lot! I would take any class taught by Joani.

With 23 years of experience I am typically bored at professional Development on Autism. The presenter provided valuable,
well-organized, potent information even for highly experienced providers.
Speech Language Pathologist, Riverhead, NY
This was one of the best workshops I’ve attended in years. All of the information was relevant and understandable. I’m taking home ideas and that’s always what I hope to gain from a workshop. There was never a dull moment. Thanks so much!

Joani has a fun, energetic speaking style! Great mix of researched material, stories and practical techniques.

Soooo different than other Autism programs. Much more to the point with background and then how to treat. Makes sense.

The speaker was exemplary in her presentation of the material, exemplary in knowledge of her subject matter, and gave me many strategies that I was able to implement on Monday in my classroom.

Wish every EC teacher, Regular Ed teacher and administrator could hear this presentation!
Speech Language Pathologist – 61st Conference on Exceptional Children
This is the best training I have attended to date - A wealth of information was given in a meaningful way not just sitting and listening to someone talk. Also the handouts provided are concrete items (tools) that I can use to work with Autistic students.

I especially liked looking at the Autistic child as a whole using the hierarchy. Feel like this can be used with all students, not just AU.

I loved this session the most. I really needed a quick lesson on how to write a social story and learned how important visual support is to our AU students.
