Comments from Past Participants
"The SENG group provided me with a sense of community early into my understanding of my profoundly-gifted son. The ability to discuss trials
and tribulations as well as solutions and strategies was very valuable. Lisa Hancock was expert in leading the group, keeping us on topic and providing guidance. I highly recommend participating in SENG and look forward to continuing my education."
"My husband and I couldn’t understand why our son cried all the time and was difficult to care for. In Lisa’s workshops, I learned about over-excitability and sensory feedback to different sounds, smells and textures. I started to recognize that our son's brain was constantly processing and had a hard time stopping. I was able to help him cope with meltdowns when he couldn’t accept anything less than perfection to his own standards. My husband and I were surprised by the amount of patience and strength we gained simply by understanding the reasons to our son’s behavior. We are able to be better parents because of Lisa."
