Testimonials
From Patti’s Other Apply EBP Courses:
“This session had me start thinking about some students on my caseload that likely have DCD. I want to try different treatment approaches with them and work more top down.” – PT with 30 years experience, on DCD – Assessment
“This course was a great introduction to DCD that I really needed. It has opened my eyes to the possibility that many of my students (past and present) may have a possible DCD diagnosis which will help me to frame my approach to intervention in a more effective manner. I will definitely be taking the follow-up courses.” – OT with 15 years experience, on DCD – Assessment
