J. Lockwood –
Excellent resource. I recently returned to out patients and find this book exactly as advertised. A quick reference guide. Good info that’s easy to find. I find myself using it to check myself and to get ideas.
Jodi Dool –
Loved the book. Great study tool for the Hand Therapy Exam. Full of all sorts of great tidbits and clinical applications.
Rita D Schnell –
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions and I wanted to let you know that I passed the CHT exam–1st try. It is largely due to your book and also you clarifying some of the anatomy questions I had.
Thanks again! Rita D Schnell

I wanted to let you know how your “Purple Book” helped me tremendously with
preparing for the CHT this past year. I still have so much to learn as I
cont. to study. Thank you so much for your dedication to helping your
fellow colleagues and thus helping our patrons attain better outcomes.
Julie Batchelor OTR –
I want to begin by saying a big thankyou to the two of you. What an asset you both are to the therapy world and the field of hand therapy. Last year I read a testimonial by a therapist in Idaho that worked alone (I could relate!)and had passed the CHT exam and had used the basics and beyond. I was inspired to say the least. I too purchased Beyond the Basics and both the first and second purple book. (You were able to get the second purple book to me in less than 24 hours which gave me 3 weeks to read it before the exam.) The purple book second edition and The Basics and Beyond were the glue that pulled all my information together. You explain things in terms that can be understood, related to and remembered. I know your products were very instrumental in my success with the hand exam and would recommend them without hesitation to any aspiring CHT. Sincerely,
