    Great

    I loved this course so much! I was also a CrossFit coach (until the past year) and have loved seeing the benefit it gains people. I like that the presenter has been able to combine SLP and CrossFit/Fitness to help support her clients.

    Fitness for Functional Neurorecovery

    This was incredible. I recently went back to CrossFit and am using it to build stamina for a disorder I have been diagnosed with. This was perfect for me to hear but also gave me some ideas for students

    Movement in sessions is imperative!

    This course will activate your imagination about ways you can incorporate movement into your therapy sessions across settings and populations. It will do so by providing an excellent framework for how and why movement improves and primes our cognitive growth. Listen, take notes, and think creatively. Your future self, patients and colleagues will thank you.

"Thank you for making this excellent, research-based learning opportunity that is both extremely accessible and affordable. This is the best kind of PD: it’s one hour at a time so I can learn and then have time to synthesize and apply. It provides information I can apply to my practice immediately; and I can listen and learn while I drive, fold laundry, etc. thanks for the research and resources!"
