    Very good course. Very good presentation.

  3. Peggy Langley –

    Amazing course! I can’t say enough good things about it. Susan did a great job explaining the areas of TOS I was familiar in treating, but I learned many new facets such as the mirroring, greater motor imagery that can be used on this patient population. Thanks for a comprehensive course that nailed it!

  4. Anonymous –

    I haven’t completed the course yet, however the instructor is very knowledgeable and I like the way she repeats key information numerous times. This helped me recall information as the the course moved along.
