"Took Online-Difficult to hear questions from the audience. Overall-GREAT!"

Alexandra K

"Dr Olivas is clearly knowledgeable. There was a lot of digressing and the actual intervention portion was very rushed. I don't feel I have much to take away from this course and apply to OT practice with my behaviorally challenging patients. "
