Reviews

LOTS of great apps (many for FREE) and current references. I especially enjoyed the tips on how to use the iPad not only for treatment, but also for documentation.

Polly introduced me to many apps that I can use in treatment and recommend as a home program. Everyone left the course with innovative ideas to use in treatment.
