2014. I am sure you are always thrilled to hear
positive feedback we see after implementing
this approach, so I am sharing this with you.

“Thanks again for your very wonderful, uplifting, and meaningful presentation. You truly
enhanced our session and I’m so grateful for
your participation, not to mention the grace
and warmth you exuded to the audience, and
of course, all from the very first moment I
spoke with you. Our community is lucky to
have you. May Hashem bless you to continue
your holy work with tremendous hatzlacha
and may you be blessed with the fulfillment
of all your heart’s desires. Looking forward to
sharing many wonderful things and wishing

In addition to implementing Montessori in
the center for children on the autistic spectrum I work at, I have implemented some

her hands. I am contributing this improvement totally to the Montessori activities we
have done with lots of repetition.
Thank you so much for sharing your wealth
of knowledge and enabling more children to
benefit from this method. Hashem should
grant you continuous Hatzlacha in all the
work you do.”
