I was so proud to stumble upon your website tonight! I'm a former student from the late 80's to early 90's. I cannot begin to tell you how many of the methods that I learned as one of your students and later passed down to my own students as an EMR special ed teacher. It was such a treat to see the Youtube video and I''m so thrilled about reading the book! I placed my order tonight. I hope that you and your family are well and that you all have a WONDERFUL holiday season and 2011! Josh Stegall
