This was one of the best professional development classes I’ve taken. I strongly recommend this course.
Heather Powers
Best COpilot course I've taken so far. Definitely recommended for any educator interested in different perspectives and new paradigms.
Amy Anderson
This class gave me a whole new perspective on autism. So much of what I knew was outdated and untrue. I learned so much and I am really glad I took this course!
