Reviews

I work with special needs clients and do both large, small group and one on one trainings. I work in a residential community and am looking to expand my services to day programs. I have to say a lot of the examples giving are very true to my daily work- like be flexible. Expect to think on your feet and be ready to change all your plans in an instant. The example about how even the weather can change everything so true! The last two week have been rainy and terrible and just that changes all the work out plans! Even a change in location like we usually work outside, but lately inside changes the mood tone and stimulation levels. It's not for people who have one plan in mind and that's it. There are amazing heart filling times and then there are going to be times where you go well that could have gone better, and either way you have got to be ok with it.

Pretty good, definitely geared towards higher support needs people as opposed to medium or low support
