‘‘People are still raving about your wonderful presentation. There has not been a day yet where we do not hear a conversation in the halls, conference rooms, bathrooms, or cafeteria about multiple intelligences. We have been thanked daily for bringing you to Sesame Street.”
“‘Thanks so much for your fabulous presentation. I knew your material would totally rock our world, but you hit the ball out of the park first thing in the morning which helped make for a terrific conference. It was clear you had taken the trouble to get to know who we were and your presentation was funny, insightful and full of useful information for our work. All of which was appreciated and you were the talk of the conference. Many of us also have neurodiversity challenges and I personally felt enormously affirmed to have so many additional intelligences thrown my way.”
– Amanda Kovattana, Conference Program Chair, Institute for Challenging Disorganization Conference, Denver, Colorado.

“You were a stunning beginning to our conference. . . Speaking, interacting, teaching, you gave the conference a deeper dimension, one that we all needed.

You certainly connected with the audience.”
