    I loved how you collected the interventions from multiple well known speakers in the play therapy community. Each presentation was concise and easy to implement. I love everything about Liana and her skill to interact with others. I liked the brief introduction of each speaker and how they explained their intervention.

    This training was a wonderful training. Due to COVID and switching to telemental health it has been a struggle to engage younger kids, but this training has provided me with some great activities that will assist me in assisting my clients virtually. I would recommend this training to any one interested in learning new interactive techniques.

    I enjoyed that the strategies and techniques were also tied back to theoretical frameworks. I enjoyed hearing about each presenters experience and credentials. I liked the examples that were provided throughout so that participants could really see the strategies in practice, I also enjoyed Liana asking additional questions to presenters especially in how to prompt a client when using the different tools. I enjoyed that the materials were provided in the handouts!
