What an honor it was to meet you, and be able to hear one of your presentations!  You are just delightful! Thank you for your warm, inviting personality and your expertise!  I learned SO much at the workshop that will enable me to communicate better with our parents, teachers, etc…I am so thankful!  It was just a blessing!

Thank you, Linda, for a most informative workshop today in King of Prussia! I already use tons of visual supports but came away from your presentation with new ideas for both materials and implementation strategies that I can use with my students.

Linda, you are an accomplished presenter.  Everybody gained something from these 2 days; most of us gained a lot!  I felt and heard the excitement of implementing these strategies.  Thanks!

I attended your workshop yesterday and today I tried some of the visual strategies with a few of my students and all I can say is WOW!!!  I had already been using visuals for their schedule but I extended the concept to using them for getting their attention and eliminating confusion.  It was amazing!!

Sure hope I can encourage others to attend future workshops.  Please come back to this area SOON.  Thanks so much for putting this knowledge into a bit of a different framework.  You’ve given me some great ideas of ways to help my teachers sort through the areas they are stuck in.

I had the pleasure of attending the 2-day workshop in Portland, Maine and I want to say that it was one of the BEST I’ve been too — not bad for someone who’s been in the field for almost 20 years!!  The information provided made me see a perspective I’d known about but really hadn’t understood as I should. Thank you, you’ve changed how I do therapy and much of my consultation model.
Dani Eichenlaub, M.A., CCC-SLP

We really enjoyed your presentation and our participants were very excited about the information you shared. Many of them made a point to stop and tell us how much they enjoyed listening to you. The ONLY complaint was that we should have given you a longer time to present!
