CASIGYs’ mascot is a cute way to visualize differences. Kids relate to your analogies. Attendee, CAGT 2016

Thank you again for a fun and informative presentation to my graduate students. Several students made a point to tell me how much they got out of your presentation. The exercise you facilitated is one they really enjoyed and learned from. Thanks for being such a good resource for me and my students. You shared a wealth of information and I am most appreciative! Carmen Williams, University of Colorado
Many thanks for your presentations to the Support Group and to our Team Retreat Day. Your wisdom and presence deepened all the messages for each event. Core team members said you were very helpful in finding our purpose, and that you helped break a logjam in team dynamics and enabled us to move forward as a team. Mary Ann Lang, Saint Frances Cabrini Catholic Community, Littleton, CO
Thank you for the seminar you provided at our church about parenting children with ADD. The positive responses I received from those attending were deeply felt. They were touched by the breadth of your knowledge and insight. You were a resource to them on practical ways to engage and encourage kids with AD/HD. Thank you for sharing your expertise in this important area.

I like the analogy of ocean waves and emotion waves – and that there are degrees of feelings, just like different colored flags on an ocean beach. I want more time to learn about this!

We’re ALL using the ACES tools almost every day in some way. It helps our intense family members all be more peaceful and take challenges in stride much better than we used to. Mom of 7 & 9 year old highly sensitive boys.

Thank you again for everything you have done for both my son and myself! He has been coming home happier than I have seen him in years, and more willing to share about his day at school than ever before. He is setting his alarm clock without reminders, taking showers without reminders, making his lunch, and seeking teachers for clarification of assignments!!!! When I tried to remind him about something last week, he said, “If you want me to be independent, let me be independent and figure it out for myself.” I am so happy that he is taking the initiative on his own! I am thrilled. With deepest appreciation! From the Mom of an 8th/ now 9th grade gifted boy.

I like how you included Dabrowski’s theory of Positive Disintegration to show how negative emotions are essential for advanced development. Attendee CAGT 2016
