What People Are Saying About Saundra
Natalie D.
“I work with adult survivors of acquired brain injuries and other significant challenges in the group home setting and the topic was incredibly relevant. Saundra's presentation focused on the bridge between humanistic language and technical behavior analytic language when discussing trauma. I love presentations that are informative, behavior analytic, and accessible!"
Rebecca B.
“Her training was hard to listen to in the best way. My training was so hardcore Lovaas and it took me YEARS to realize how wrong those practices were. I was young and I would like to say I have made changes. It's hard. I am beyond thankful for individuals like you who are advocating for our clients and our science. Thank you!”
Rodney F.
