learn more interactively and also appreciated your giving us the opportunity for input.

Most of all, I understood everything you said."

Connie B., New Haven, CT.

"I attended the conference you presented in New Haven, CT. Thank you for a

fascinating and comprehensive overview of Social Security programs. It helped to

clarify many questions I had."

Jean D., Manchester, NH

"Talk about the morning after....I wanted to let you know how informative

the workshop you did yesterday at the Center of NH in Manchester was. Other

presenters I've heard on this subject of " benefits' seem to look at it as

each consumer should sort of play the game and maintain themselves in their

current situation. Knowing your options and being able to make an informed

choice doesn't seem to happen as frequently as it could.

Your information was great...mind boggling but great. You have the capacity

to present all of this in very understandable way and actually make

it enjoyable!!!!! "

Ina Engel, The Arc-King County, Seattle, WA

"Thanks for a great training. You made Social Security more understandable

than it has ever been, despite many, many other trainings."

Olivia H., Hot Springs, AR

in Hot Springs, Arkansas this year. It has made a lasting impression on me

and have passed your literature on to countless individuals and families."

Susan M., Sharonville, OH

"I attended your inservice in Sharonville, OH, just wanted to let you know it was

very informative, you have a natural way of explaining it so that people actually

understand. Thank you."

K Jones, Community Connections, Inc., Fall River, MA

"I just wanted to thank you for the SSI training you did for us in Fall
River. I have received a lot of positive feed back from parents and
providers that attended."

Carol R., The Arc of Amador, CA

"I attended your training in Modesto, CA last month. It was one of the best trainings,

I've ever been to."
