Ainslie Kriston OTR/L –
This is the best purchase I have made. It is very through and is helping me study for the CHT exam. I am sharing several chapters with our PT’s and ATC’s. It is a good review and teaching tool for them. I also plan on using several questions with my OT students.
Cheryl Mandel OTR/L CHT –
I am relieved that I passed the exam!
I used both editions of your purple book
with the CD questions to review.
I also had some courses and CDROMs of your
courses to study from as well as Rehab of the Hand
(Yellow) read cover to cover and the recent
Hand Journals.
I feel like I know alot more now!
Thanks………………..

Susan and Nancy-
First of all, I would like to give you all a huge thanks for helping me to pass the CHT exam this year!! I used your Basics and Beyond CD as well as the “purple book” along with some other references and felt very prepared. The practice tests were also well worth the money.
I would also like more information about helping at the Philadelphia Conference. I am really interested in attending this year, it would be my first time. I have been to the Indiana conference and heard alot of good things about the Phil. conference. Just let me know.
