Excellent hands-on learning labs, appreciate the quick feedback to techniques; instructors were able to give real world examples to support learning.

Excellent training, presentation and new material. Can’t wait to get back to the hospital to implement and share what I have learned. I expect this movement to change our NICU care.

Amazing course, almost wish it was 5 days. I would definitely take another course that goes deeper into these topics. Can’t wait to share with my unit!!

Dawn Zuberbuhler, RN

This was the best NICU course I have attended. I will be able to use the information I learned in my NICU and be able to “impact” the neuro and gross motor development of the babies I see. Improving their overall outcome. Thank you.

Natalie Watzl, OT

Wonderful course! Kara Ann is full of knowledge and her passion is contagious!

Stephanie Duke, PT

I appreciate being reminded about the importance of neuroprotective and family centered developmental care core measures. Your passion about partnering with families, positioning and handling, safeguarding sleep, protecting skin, minimizing stress, providing care in a healing environment, optimizing nutrition, etc. never gets old.

Darlene Bickett, OT

Very eye opening and exciting to put this into practice.

Lindsay Tice, PT

Both speakers were tremendous in presenting information.
