TESTIMONIALS
What therapists say about Patti
This session had me start thinking about some students on my caseload that likely have DCD. I want to try different treatment approaches with them and work more top down.
- PT with 30 years experience
This was valuable information because it's easy to get in the habit of focusing on one aspect of the child instead of looking at how they present globally.
- OT with 20 years experience
This was a great course! The video example is very helpful to explain the material. I was able to think of many of my students and brainstorm how the provided assessments and interventions will be helpful!
- OT with 3 years experience
