Sensory Course Parent Feedback

“I found the course to be very informative and insightful into the brain development of my baby and her sensory needs. It gave me new ideas for activities to do with my baby, not only while she’s an infant, but also what to do with her in the future as she grows. I found it enjoyable to learn about and I recommend this course to any parent or guardian who wants to help with their child’s development and have fun doing so along the way!”

-Alyssa, Mother

Educator Feedback on Course

“With almost 20 years of experience as an elementary classroom teacher, my job of simply instructing the standards of learning and ensuring academic growth and achievement at my students’ developmental level has become more challenging. Their basic foundational skills that should already be developed and strong, are not… Their behavior and attention has worsened… optimal learning cannot occur… what has truly rescued my instruction are the plethora of absolutely essential activities from this course… The necessary and critical brain-building skills and activities from this OT have allowed me to effectively teach the standards to my young, growing minds… every activity and skill that is presented on Develop Learn Grow and in this course is a prerequisite for my job in order to successfully teach reading, writing, and mathematics. [Amy’s] holistic approach to teaching the whole brain, has allowed my students to flourish and reach their full academic potential…”
