Seminars, Workshops, and In-Services
On-site seminars offer many advantages, including
consistency of services provided within your organization
and significant cost-savings compared to sending individual
clinicians to conferences.
Half-day, full-day, or
two-day programs provide state-of-the-art training for:
State or regional conventions
School district or intermediate unit in-services
Private practices and clinics
In some situations, seminars can now be provided
remotely via skype. This offers even more costs savings
because of the elimination of travel costs. Send an
