What people are saying about our Masterclasses...

The two of you are definitely a dynamic duo! Such a wonderful compliment to each other in the instructional process. While I am sure you both are excellent clinicians, adult learning/professional development/continuing education is DEFINITELY your gift. Thank you for devoting your resources to our field in this manner and promoting not only learning and growth but also vulnerability and networking/collaboration. I highly recommend all things SLP Nerdcast!”

Cari L. SLP

Thank you for your time and all of the information I have learned. The format made it very easy to take this course and I liked the contact we had in our discussion and availability for office hours.

Elizabeth S. SLP

I loved that I could complete the tasks at my own pace and directly connect them to my caseload. Having office hours helped me to get more specific feedback on my cases.
