“At first I was apprehensive when we enrolled on the course. My daughter has Asperger’s (high functioning Autism) and I was worried that she would not be able to concentrate. I thought that we would have to leave early, but I have been amazed at how she has been totally engrossed for the whole three days.” Workshop participant.
