The Strong Education course was full of great information where I learned how to incorporate proper communication tools, safety procedures, and furthered my knowledge on the special needs population. You also get to learn about the CBSE model they implement and the science behind the program and why it’s so effective.

The Adaptive Special Needs Certification Program has helped me find creative ways to get my son more active without putting too much pressure on him. We turn exercises into fun ways to “compete” with each other, while he works on his coordination and balance. We’re also getting more time together and taking more breaks from the television. I am so thankful I invested in the courses to help my son!
