Behavioural Therapy Training – June 7

Hi everyone –

I would personally encourage everyone and anyone who is involved in a Lovaas-style A.B.A. program to attend this first in a series of similar workshops.

Therapists – junior or senior will learn something new or will get a good refresher on the "nuts and bolts" of good therapy.

So….register soon…these workshops generally book up quickly.

P.S. – This workshop is also a must for parents.

Regards, Jean Lewis
