Meg,
Thanks for the nice comments. Let me know if you ever need any presenters on fathers and family literacy. I will be sending you some materials to use with families and practitioners if you like.
We charge for trainings but if the conference is of a good size we will usually speak/present for travel and a much smaller fee. Let me know if you ever have a need. If you have materials that you want to put in the hands of parents, let me know. We work with over 8000 fathers/families per year and can get good stuff in the hands of good people.
Thanks again.
