“ The class has literally changed how I view and interact with my child. It has changed my outlook and my hopes and dreams for his future. I feel so optimistic, I feel energized and full of new hope to go after skills that I always thought would be out of our reach.” - Susan C., Mother
"I have a deeper understanding of my son. I have a better appreciation for his behavior as a neurological condition and not manipulative. I also have a better appreciation for how to help him gain skills using some new ideas. The instructor did an excellent job in explaining behavior with science and then providing ways to help overcome the challenges." - Ken C. Father
