Inspiring actions that lead to results


Our facility was listed as #5 in the state ranking for the facility with the highest use of psychotropic medication usage. After attending your presentation on Practical Behavioral Management for the Client with Dementia, I went back and incorporated changes. Our psychotropic use is so low now that we aren’t even on the list.

Eloquent, inspirational, and most engaging


Professor Siple was the recipient of Newman University’s 2011 Teaching Excellence Award which led to her providing the fall 2011 and spring 2012 Commencement addresses.  Amy’s addresses were eloquent, inspirational, and most engaging.  I then understood why she is a much sought after speaker on a wide range of topics.
