Customer Success Stories

Testimonials from our amazing clients.

“My staff unanimously thought you and your presentation were amazing. I have gotten lots of positive feedback from the teachers. Your talk was loaded with great information, and I loved how it was also very specific in giving the language and strategies to not only manage behavior issues but also to diminish their occurrence.”

Molly R., Darien Nature Center

“Our providers have been attending these (Hangout Spot) workshops and express that they are of great benefit to them since they have helped them get a deeper understanding of the Autism spectrum and provided them with helpful resources to work with these children and their families.”
