Reviews
What previous attendees have said about this CPD:
Samantha: Course was informative and Nicole was very good at delivering as well as giving us her experiences. Good day!
Lucy: A great course . I felt that, apart from the descriptions at the beginning, the content could have applied to neurotypical children. A friendly and engaging trainer. Her passion shines through.
Lydia: Nicole is clearly very knowledgeable in the field of working with neurodiverse children and young people and she gave lots of tips and examples of how to adapt your practice to suit the needs of any individual who may visit you in your clinic. I came away from the course feeling more confident in my ability to offer therapeutic support to children and young people with additional needs and am looking forward to adding some cuddly peas to my sensory toolkit! I enjoyed the course very much, thank you Nicole!
Shirley Dodd: Loved this course. Wonderful to see therapists coming together who are up for working with ‘people like me’! I picked up a good number of really useful tips from Nicole around sensory toolkits and recommended reading. I had a lot of admiration for her work with her client, which will encourage me in my own practice. I found her very easy to follow, as were the materials she presented.
Lisa Williams: Excellent CPD which covered everything it said it would and everything I wanted it to. Nicole is a great trainer and engaged so well with a very diverse set of people. I love the way she teaches – she is right up my street! Very honest, open, knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. I have worked with children and young adults for many years, and today I have taken so much insight, help and guidance that I can not only use with my young clients in the therapy room, but in sharing with my own supervisees and students ongoing. I will thoroughly recommend this CPD to others. Many thanks.
