“Sue’s printing course is FANTASTIC! She walks you through the entire process from helping kids with their letter formations to writing sentences within a busy classroom setting. I would definitely recommend this course if you are looking for both effective and engaging strategies that you can implement immediately into your practice!”
Julie Tribou, BSc(OT)
“Yes I would recommend this course to others! This course gives great foundational skills for supporting school age children. This course is very beneficial for OTs interested in school based practice with children.”
Sydney Hampton, OT new grad
“Overall, this course is absolutely amazing. There is a great combination of theory, examples, practice tips, worksheets, and clinical examples. The videos were mostly under 10 minutes, making the information digestible The overall flow of the course was great. New material built off of previous lessons, which supported my learning throughout this course I appreciate the combination of visual, auditory, and written information provided in this course Content was clearly explained in common rehabilitation terms; this would be helpful even if the learner has no prior experience in pediatrics Provided several great resources, including summary notes, worksheets, and activities. As a student OT, I found this extremely helpful since finding good and relevant resources online is very difficult Presented intervention in steps, such as "Build, Practice, Paper, Grade + Fade". This was a very comprehensive method and I really appreciate all the examples that were provided The side-by-side editing for "Teaching" and "Correcting" was brilliant I appreciate the lesson on types of assessments and clinical reasoning that is required to determine which interventions should be used for the child The rapid summary at the end was very helpful at summarizing the key points of the course”
