Kudos on podcast!
Avery and Dr. Hickey,
Just a note to thank you for this amazing podcast! I have listened to many of them and makes me proud to be a grad of Health and Human Sciences at CSU.
Specifically, the recent one with Tricia is excellent. We do occupational therapy for my son and I forwarded it to his therapist to share with her clients about this work!
This podcast epitomizes impact, and I hope it goes viral : )
Sincerely,
John Heisel
