"Excellent training overall"
"The training was extremely applicable to my current work assignment."
"The implementation practice"
"Being able to discuss specific difficulties we are having with students"
"Instructor was engaging and knowledgable."
"Instructor gave adequate opportunities for practice and helpful feedback"
"The trainer was absolutely FANTASTIC. She was highly engaging, professional, informative, and had a perfect balance of humor and content. "
"I really appreciate having this class brought here. When I took the PECS I class several years ago , I had to drive to the Seatac Airport hotel in the middle of the worst snow storm to date at the end of November; it took me 4 1/2 hours and I-90 closed behind me. I attended the class for 2 full days 7:30am-4pm (and had to pay for 3 nights lodging/food out of my own pocket because it wasn't safe to drive home after the second day of training). Being able to practice each step and the skills hands-one and problem-solve with our co-workers/teams. I like that certificated and classified were included in the class, especially since both are responsible for direction and implementation of PECS protocols."
"Presenter did a great job of keeping learning lively!"
"Anne was a great instructor. She made the training fun and kept us engage the whole two days."
"The trainer did a great job of presenting the info and keeping us engaged for 2 days!"

"Would like to see the next step of moving on to AAC"
"It would have been nice to offer PECS I class before PECS II so that people who have not had either PECS class could have taken both in succession, instead of scheduling PECS II before PECS I. That way, everyone could have received complete PECS I & II training at one time. Some people did not receive an email that they were automatically enrolled in the class. They were teaching class or small groups on Tuesday and were called that morning when they did not show up to the class at 8am, so they had to leave right away to come to the class. "
"Bring Anne back for ALL future PECS trainings!! "

"Great training. Will be useful in my position."
"Room temperature was a little cold the first day. "
"Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing PECS level two for those of us ready for the next level. Even more than that, many thanks for providing PECS level one to ALL of the classroom staff for the SLC and communication classrooms at WA and LIN. This is NOT the type of training easily picked up on the job. It is systematic and critical that all team members have the same knowledge before teaching this communication modality to students. The time and money put into this is greatly appreciated!! "
"Great class!"
