This training was very well organized and well supported with useful examples that the practitioners can immediately apply. As a teacher I am going to share this information with my paras as we start out the year.

Rose had some great ideas/applications, but if you've been in the field a while, this presentation does not bring a lot of new knowledge or technical skills.

This topic presented by Rosemary Griffin had lots of creative ideas for working with young children in small groups. While i was familiar with most of the materials the topic used; new and creative ways to use these to generate interaction and communication in primarily autistic children ere used successfully. I recommend this session for any one who wants new ideas to increase communication in young children
