AC’s Course and Lectures - What People Are Saying
"This was the most impactful education I've ever received. As an SLP who's been in practice for almost 40 years, I don't say that lightly. I've taken so many courses over the years, and this addressed gaps in my knowledge that I never knew were crucial until I engaged."
"AC leads such deep, important conversations. We can't grow as professionals until everyone takes this course. Everyone should take this course!"
"What can I say? I've never learned so much in one course. The best part is that all of it is immediately applicable. I'm a better SLP, better professor and better HUMAN for having enrolled in CREDIT. I cannot recommend it highly enough."
