WHAT THEY HAVE SAID........
.....I have been very honored to have had wonderful audiences who have given wonderful evaluations and feedback. I do learn from ALL comments and continually strive to improve. The comments do make me feel that I am on the right track with the type of information I keep gathering, experiencing and researching.
I both love to learn from your feedback and thank people for their kind comments, support and for sharing their thoughts, so that I can continue to learn and then to share. Barbara

Super! Would not mind taking again, so much great information. Since I was the only teacher in class, I was able to get a new slant. The paraeducators do as much as I do! To over look them is to put a stop to creativity and communication needed to be a success. You must spread the word as to how important these people are to the whole progress.

The workshop was wonderful, it was full of very imaginative but simple ideas that we can all use. It is very important for the experience and knowledge the paraeducators have amassed by passed on to paraeducators, teachers and administrators.

I really loved this workshop, it proved to me as a paraeducator to get more involved with students and teachers. You did a great job, so many suggestions the children who had you were blessed. Please write a book it will help parents too! "Correctly Creating with Carolyn"

Great workshop! So many creative different ideas. Very important that paraeducators present to other paraeducators. Carolyn knew exactly where the group was coming from.

Thank you very much Barbara for attending the class and helping us understand what it is like to support someone who has Down Syndrome. Speaking for myself, I was fascinated by both your keen appreciation of the issues and your enthusiasm for the topic. You've inspired me and hopefully some of the students to think about issues related to this important topic. You have a gift for amusing yet informative anecdotal speaking .Thank you for sharing your resources and your love of learning about support work by reading relevant books.
