"Dana's in-service was very informative, relevant to our age group and provided a good overview of what to look for. Her handouts were amazing and wonderful resources."

"Dana recently presented a workshop on sensory processing in the classroom to a group of our community educators. She was a wonderful presenter and shared meaningful insights and strategies to incorporate into classrooms. She shared about sensory processing and some social emotional strategies to support all learners in the classroom. We are grateful for sharing her expertise!"
