If you’ve been reading the blog, then you know we’ve been incredibly busy conducting professional development workshops for teachers and therapists here in Stuart. I have had so much positive feedback from those who have been involved, it’s been overwhelming. Only today, I heard from several therapists and teachers who attended the workshop on Wednesday. This is just one of the comments we’ve received:
“I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the therapeutic magic program, Hocus Focus. Kevin would demonstrate a “trick” and then request that we practice for 5 minutes. He would then elicit input on the value of the “trick” for cognitive, therapeutic, physical (range of motion, muscle control, handedness, cross-over ), emotional, and responses and resulting self-esteem. The entire group self-divided and practiced and discussed the “trick” and its value with total self and group commitment, mental concentration and laughter. The answers to his queries about what the importance these practices had for the learner were extensive, varied and very technical. I love hearing the rational about the value of the technical labels, especially the unfamiliar. It was wonderful for MY body and soul. I hated to leave and I believe was not alone in that feeling. Thank you for this GREAT WORKSHOP!”
I can’t tell you how that makes me feel! And we’ve received dozens of similar comments from therapists and educators. Tomorrow (Tuesday), Alan and I will be spending the day working with exceptional students in the Martin County Schools. I just know it’s going to be amazing.
Okay, the last couple of days we’ve been performing at the Lyric Theatre in downtown Stuart, FL. We did two shows on Sunday and two shows today. The audiences were great – and the team at the theatre made us feel right at home. I’ll write more later….just getting back to the hotel after a long day and I have to get up early!
