What People are Saying

I feel as though I am coming away from this greatly more empathetic towards people in general...
To the individuals and families that we have met in the videos. I looked forward to hearing about your journeys each week. I thank them for being so brave, open, honest and sincere.
Thank you so much for the SPECTRUM Course on ASD… I really enjoyed it and am excited to put my new knowledge to use. I especially enjoyed all the interviews with the families and the individuals who shared their first-hand experiences about life on the spectrum… it really opened my eyes to how difficult it must be for them to deal with life situations that many would not even give a second thought to.

I feel it has better prepared me for my work, but even more than that, it has helped me better understand my son.
