At first we had some technical issues (not able to be invited into online meeting) and had called their phone number and they also reported some tech issues but was able to quickly fix the issue and I was able to connect. The class was very informational and the Instructor was kind and helpful as well.

Heidi gave really good examples of each scenario and was interactive with the class. I appreciated how it was run. The course itself seemed more geared towards day programs and facilities but it did have some areas that pertained to my field as an in-home early intervention provider as well. Thank you
