Dr. Tagg is one of the most interesting, engaging and informative speakers I have had the pleasure of learning from. Her ability to combine real life experience with the real life case studies created a learning environment where i did not want to miss one piece. Please have her back. I will choose her course every time. I hope other learners took the time to write about her as well. Excellent presentation - thought provoking and thorough!?! Well done She really knows the symptoms and psychotropics that can be used with a comorbid diagnosis of Autism.

Although we all come with different background knowledge to the field, it is so important that we are aware of when something is outside of our scope of practice and that we know to seek out support from other professionals.
