As a Speech pathologist in a public school and the parent of a daughter with anxieties, these interviews are extremely helpful and hopeful. Thank you! - Melissa P.

Thank you so much!!! I wish I came across this summit 10 years ago. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this! All of us need to understand SM kids better. Without having that understanding, we can't help them. - Gosia B.

I'm a long distance grandparent of a 6 year old SM. Our only communication now is via zoom so interaction is difficult. Watching this series has opened my eyes to a child with SM. Thank you fo much for this experience. - Eugene L.

All presentations were really enlightening and each provided a new added bit that I have not yet tried!

Your quick-to-grasp interviewing skills and genuine compassion for this topic has made this an incredible learning experience. - Jeanie M

It is an extraordinary opportunity to watch all these speech therapists, psychologists, occupational therapists, educators and parents offering support for SM. Thank you for the very useful resources that you have provided! - Emilia C.
