Meet the Trainers

Shaun Wood

Senior Training & Technical Assistance Manager

Before taking this class, I would offer my opinion on why I think a specific behavior was occurring, or what I think the next step should be in helping either a client or an EC, but I never felt super confident that what I was sharing was anything useful or even accurate. I now know that both myself and the individual I am working with trust what I say, and I think that is the biggest benefit of taking this course.
