What people are saying about this course!

Absolutely wonderful!! I think that these sessions should be mandatory for those that work with children.
This presentation needs to be seen by every school employee.
Great presentation and it kept me focused and paying attention wanting to know what was coming next.
I've done a lot of education for Trauma, and then a lot of education for Autism & IDD - not once in close to 40 years have I seen a video as good as the one covering Trauma and IDD. Thank you!
The resources this training has provided will allow me as a parent and medical professional to better understand how to support kids/adults that have experienced childhood trauma. 
Trauma is not something anyone ever ones to talk about or sometimes knows how to deal with appropriately to help someone who has lived with trauma.
