“AMAZING, AMAZING, AND AMAZING! This was one of my favorite workshops presented at Sayreville University! I strongly recommend having this as a required workshop during Professional Development for teachers, paraprofessionals, child study team, and administrators. All presenters answered our questions and I have become better informed as a special education teacher. I can not recommend this workshop enough!”
