 COMMENTS FROM OUR GLASGOW CONFERENCE OCTOBER 2008

"Excellent, top class presenter, very easy to listen to, follow and learn from.  Really enjoyed real life examples, helping to relate 'theory' to real people and understand how differently children/adults with ASD think and process information"

"Thank you for a fantastic weekend.  I have attended many training courses in the last few years but none as beneficial (and enjoyable) as this. Well done!"

"Really enjoyed the two days, lots of things to think about and lots of practical tips, thank you."

"An inspiring couple of days and I thoroughly enjoyed the workshops.  I am going back to school to build on present practice and implement new ideas"

"Excellent, articulate, informative, entertaining and excellent!"

"Valuable use of my time - keen to know more and share with those I work with, also good to hear the things we are getting right"

"This is invaluable knowlege to bring forward to the children who's needs are unmet through traditional methods and interactions, the practical side of the training was excellent"

"Excellent training ran to a high standard, I would recommend this training to my colleagues, teachers, care staff and pyschologists"

"Sally is fantastic to listen to.  Adding the humour, makes it so much more interesting and memorable"
