Mary Pat's knowledge of the issues her students face surpasses that of any other professional in the field that I have met, including CHOP doctors, neurologists, psychologists, and other learning specialists. Her command of how the nervous system works in special students is unrivaled.

Flip The Switch OT brings essential information and practical applications to educators, therapists and administrators alike, that will make everyday learning more productive and enjoyable for everyone. Mary Pat Kochenash is an expert in this field and her passion and dedication exudes through her presentations and sharing of her personal experiences. Mary Pat has presented to the graduate class that I teach multiple times, each and every time I learn more and feel rejuvenated as an educator. Flip the Switch presentations focus on the science as well as real life situations related to topics such as ADHD and executive functioning. I highly recommend Flip the Switch OT and look forward to continuing to learn from Mary Pat in the future.
