"Thank you. Love the flexibility to complete this at my own pace as needed.
Even with having major surgery and the need for follow up treatment/surgery I was able to manage this course and complete it in the allotted time."

"The text provided for this course will be beneficial to use as a reference as it clearly outlines steps
to take to successfully remediate specific phonemic targets. I find the word lists extemely helpful as we move across drill levels in therapy. Strategies, specifically including sound facitliation to achieve success with another sound, will be helpful to be able to reference as needed in the future. ...
I'm thankful for the availabilty of this course in expanding and strengthening my practice! "
