User Reviews

Heavy Work: A Powerful Sensory Strategy

"It's great that this course is free because ECE teachers should know the basics of what heavy work is (because we talk about it all the time). It's helpful as a launching off point to learn more."
"I plan on sharing knowledge/suggestions for activities with other teachers. I also will recommend that other teachers take this course as an intro to Heavy Work."
