Testimonials

Dr. Bowles knew precisely how to manage a very diverse audience. It was astounding to watch her engage teenage boys who’d rather be texting, shy teenage girls who preferred to remain anonymous, and adults who thought they had all the answers until Dr. Bowles opened their eyes and hearts.

Linda D. Barzilai – Northwest Regional Library Paraprofessional

All of the girls came away from the program with a deeper understanding of what it means to be sensitive to those around us with disabilities. Several of the girls went on to volunteer at community events with their newly acquired sign language skills.

Pamela Blair-Sheldon – Northwest Regional Library Youth Services Supervisor

Your vast knowledge and experience in your area of expertise allows you a unique opportunity to share with others not only a practical knowledge but detailed experiences that allow those in your classroom hands-on applications in a real-world environment. Your training techniques are not only effective, but ‘FUN’.
