I have been to many, many, many conferences and presentations and this was by far the best I've attended. Dr. Line is passionate and extremely knowledgeable. Most importantly, she is a gifted teacher and was able to effectively communicate the importance of the content, the research and theory backing, and the HOW. She was fantastic! Such a great presentation! So informative!
