“Thank you so much [Marcia] for your valuable insight! I immediately changed my approach when I returned to class. I’ve ALREADY seen a change in how the child is interacting with me and his classmates! In the days that have passed since your observation, I’ve really been looking at things in a different way. Thank you so much.”
