Testimonials

It was the most amazing training I have ever been to. Karen went above and beyond creating the most loving and nurturing space to meet our physical and emotional needs. She created a home for all of us where we could learn and heal. The experiential activities and the lecture had a perfect balance.

Karen was great lecturer and very warm and caring. I would also like to see more experiences led by Karen so I can watch her skills. Thank you for a great course!
This training was very insightful to understand how the use of executive functioning had been excluded in our teaching and learning practices from the very beginning of school life in the majority of the schools in my country and has thrown light on the urgency to incorporate them so that the suffering of children could be minimized also in their later school life as well as to prepare adults who could contribute to the whole country.
It was amazing to learn how the Oaklander Model could be used with children with learning and executive functioning difficulties.
The entire 3 day seminar was fabulous. I feel truly blessed to have participated.

First I want to thank you for a fantastic presentation. You did an amazing thing getting a group of over 80 people to color with crayons and markers and then talk to each other about it while also giving a presentation with many helpful ideas. I do therapy with kids and have some new ideas on how to engage them.
Hands down best course I have ever taken!
I have to tell you, your training, everything from the cards and your "workbook," to the meals and your warm guidance and acceptance is the best workshop I have ever been to. I am sure part of it the way we work is similar, AND your warmth, inclusiveness, openness, knowledge, expertise and drive to carry on Violet's foundational, seminal work is much appreciated.
I'm really going to miss seeing everyone from across the world. It's been such a gift to be in this training from the beginning with people from all over
I am really sad that its finishing... I would be happy to come one more time all the parts
I was pleased to be able to apply the techniques and also, to work with my colleagues from different cultures. It was amazing to find out how similar we are, even though we are so far apart, but also to learn from everyone's experience.
