It was wonderful to have the opportunity to present at this conference. It is terrific to become connected with this network of people all working to make a valuable and positive impact.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed getting to share information on the brain and learning, with those in my workshop.
If there are ways I can support your efforts, or your community please let me know. We all benefit when all children have well developed brains!
Enjoy making a difference!
