“Lizzie’s delivery was fluid and this was indicative of her depth of knowledge of this body of work. It offered a comprehensive program which can be easily applied to a case. I liked the case scenarios we worked through... It had all the elements of a good presentation for me. I felt that I walked out with a good tool... Thank you.”
“Lizzie was incredibly entertaining and incredibly knowledgeable — a rare combination.”
“Lizzie gave examples from preschool to elderly — varying diagnoses, varying settings, and varied intervention type. Really all bases were covered, everyone got their clinical needs met and questions answered.”
“The writing plans practice where Lizzie could guide us step by step and then correct errors in real time was one of the most helpful training opportunities I have had in my entire career.”
