Seminar Reviews- What are people saying?

-The lively presenter painted a picture of multidisciplinary approach filled with sensory integration techniques and engaging student focused instruction. The power of this workshop was in the passion of the presenter and her willingness to bend the genres of speech, OT, PT, and teaching.
-I knew within the first 15 minutes of the presentation that I was not going to fall asleep with this speaker!
-Everything was great! The handout with pictures, charts, and space for notes is excellent!
-It was sooo good! I wish my whole staff could have heard this!
-Marvie was able to relate her information across all disciplines and really inspired me to share this information with my teachers.
-The following school day I applied what I learned from Marvie's seminar with my children with autism in the classroom. Typically, the children are unresponsive to me and not interested in the daily activities. But after I tried some of Marvie's techniques, I was stunned at the results. So much so, that I got another teacher to witness the children's increase in alertness and awareness. They were smiling....at me!
-The best one day seminar I've been to in 26+ years in the schools! Practical, easy to follow info!
-Organized, clear, aware of the needs of the audience, very well informed, authentic, personal & humorous!
-Thanks so much, one of the best speakers I've ever listened to!
-I wish she would come live and work here!
-When I heard she was coming, I brought four of my parents to hear her. They hugged and thanked me afterwards! Thanks, Marvie!
-I especially liked the videos showing actual children/ activities.
-I love how she thinks "outside the box" and not only wants to discuss the issues but solve the problems!
