Review for All Kinds of Minds, Durham, NC, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I began with a 3 day training that I took some staff and all of our districts school psychologists. I then brought the program to my district to help reduce the need for labeling children and putting them on IEP's. Over 100 staff were trained and the district saw a 10% reduction in identification. I then was trained to be a trainer. It was amazing to see the changes in thinking and processing that teachers gain from in depth knowledge of how the child learns and reacts in the classroom. If all teaching professionals had training and support the reality that no child would be left behind would have meaning.
