Good news about the Stanley Greenspan Online Course:

Online Basic Course on the DIR/Floortime Model is extended until Saturday, May 24!

"Because of the large number of registrants who want to participate, we are extending the final day of the conference to Saturday, May 24. All registered users will be able to continue the course until 9:00 pm, EST, on Friday, May 24. We will continue to accept NEW registrations until Saturday, May 17"

The post conference is still starting on May 10th and running through May 24th. This is on Sensory Processing Disorders. I am undecided about paying $75 for that since I have been considering purchasing the Amazon Kindle with my tax stimulus check.
