Dr. Ray Lopez - Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrician
"I have long been a Dr. Brett groupie and probably have referred his services to parents at least once a month! The courses are easy to use. The format is multi-sensory. Finally, the joy of a virtual presentation is that you can listen again and again – as most of us need to when we are making shifts in our thinking."
