Mother- August 27, 2022
"I completed the ESDM Advanced Workshop and therapist certification with Laurie and what an amazing experience they both were! The format of the workshop, the materials, and the practice provided by Laurie were carefully thought out and allowed me to start the therapist certification process with confidence. Laurie is extremely passionate about the ESDM, which was evident in the support she provided to each individual (in the group) and the care she took to help us reach our individual goals. The certification process challenged my skills as a therapist, but Laurie fostered a safe space to learn and grow in my skills. Through every step of the certification process, our strengths were acknowledged and areas where we needed more practice were cultivated through practice and thoughtful feedback from Laurie. I feel extremely privileged to have Laurie's support and to learn from her. I have grown in my skills and am a better therapist because of it. I would not hesitate to recommend the ESDM Advanced Workshop and therapist certification process with Laurie for anyone looking to grow skills as a therapist using the ESDM."

"I took the ESDM Advanced Workshop and completed my ESDM therapist certification with Laurie. She is incredibly passionate about the ESDM, which showed in the thoughtful materials and presentations she gave us, helping each of us in the group to reach our individual goals. Becoming certified was a very challenging process, stretching my skills and requiring some vulnerability and Laurie was extremely supportive, making a safe space to share and receive feedback. It felt like she was not only my teacher, but my partner. I wouldn't hesitate to suggest taking the Advanced Workshop and certification with Laurie to anyone who wants to become a certified ESDM therapist and increase their knowledge and confidence in providing ESDM programming.

"It was only day one, but I loved every minute of Laurie's workshop. She opened my eyes to new perspectives. The workshop reinvigorated my appreciation and joy found within the potential of ESDM for children and their families. I am looking forward to what the rest of the workshop brings!"
Provider- August 18, 2021
"The distinctions in this Parent Group eClass were invaluable. The 'how to' implement these teachings is what is missing from most teachings. To drill down into the detail is so important. Loved this topic!"
Father-June 26, 2021
"Laurie listens well to the parents' concerns and makes sure she addresses them and is very perceptive and professional with her approach. Also she is very creative always finding ways in which to help better engage with our child. As a result the progress has been monumental!"
Mother- March 18, 2021
"Professional clinician, very practical strategies."
Provider-February 22, 2021
"The Parent Group eClass was a well summed up, condensed version of the therapy techniques that I’ve learned from Laurie over the last couple of years and I believe it’s a really important piece of learning to engage with our children. Whether the child struggles with ASD or not, it’s monumental for us as adults to just be able to relate to our children too! Thank you, Laurie! I so appreciate the slide show as for reference too! The way you help describe is also what gives it its value! I truly believe that ALL parents could benefit from the instructions if put into practice!"
Mother- February 20, 2021
"Really felt that the Parent Group eClass content was exceptional. Loved the topic, and Laurie's expertise regarding detail is unmatched."
Father- December 20, 2020
"Thanks for providing such a unique and informative learning opportunity! I love how you were able to ensure that everyone got something out of the workshop, and were able to help us make connections amongst ourselves."
Mother- October 26, 2020
"As always, it is great how Dr. Vismara, via Zoom is able to capture the essence of moments and problems we describe and help come up with the most amazing and appropriate strategies to help our child overcome those problems."
Mother- October 14, 2020
