Testimonials from recent training

- “Really, for myself it has offered awareness and the acceptance that I need to question and retrain my previous thinking in ways to support and engage with our diverse students.”
- “I plan to continue to work on shifting my perspective on services for autistic students, how I interact with them and what goals I write. This was an incredibly helpful training, and I can’t wait to dive more into the research that was shared!”
