"Denise is adorable and very knowledgeable in the SLP field. I enjoyed her presentation and I was concerned that she was only going to talk about utilizing "commercial" tools like many CEU courses do in the beginning; however, she was able to provide SLPs with real world application training and tips. Thank you so much! Hopefully I can come to a live course in the future!"
