Comments:

• "Nancy was bubbly and extremely informative.  And I love that she had a hand out, well organized."
• "Nancy was very engaging and I took home a lot of tips."
• "I found the information very helpful, on topic and appropriate.  I already used some techniques on my son today!  Nancy was knowledgeable, helpful, clear, concise, and gave out a take-away "cheat sheet" which was great!!!!"
• "I was very happy with the talk.  Nancy was passionate about the subject, and clearly very knowledgeable.  She made it fun!
• "Nancy was exceptional, knowledgeable, relative and very personable.  My husband and I enjoyed the class and came home with many realistic approaches to helping our son use words instead of motions to communicate.  I would recommend the class to not only parents, but grandparents and caregivers of toddlers."
