Testimonials
Thank you for this very informative course! I have gained so much from this course and will go back, rethink and adjust what I am doing. Thank you, Maude, for sharing your immense knowledge and experiences. At times I felt overwhelmed, there was a lot of information and all so very interesting - I wanted to take it all in. 😊 I am inspired and excited again to see what a difference I can make as an OT to the children and their families. I can’t wait to attend your next course! THANK YOU!!
Edda Thomson - Australia
I appreciate the way Maude presents her courses, in a concise and precise way, combining research and evidence-based approaches. I feel supported and I always finish the classes with a lot of new ideas and food for thought.
Alina Burrah - Israel
Exceptional presenter who is very knowledgeable in her area of expertise, and knows how to present concepts, ideas, skills, and observations in an understandable and clear manner. She always “checks in” to make sure attendees understand material presented, and optimally integrates use of power point slides with videos to further understanding. You can feel and hear her passion for her profession, the young child, and teaching and sharing knowledge with others.
Adrienne Westheim (SLP) - United States
Maude’s love and passion for developing children's potential is so apparent in the effort she puts into the courses which are built on the solid foundation of research and experience.

During these sessions Maude will share cases, but members will share cases as well. Mentoring could range from OT services to different diagnostic categories, to different methodologies. Maude’s expansive knowledge over different domains makes her a great resource for “putting it all together”
