Quotes & Testimonials

No way to outclass Dr. Sutton. He holds his audience.
Bob Peterson, Special Education Counselor, San Antonio, Texas

Thank you so much for a wonderful presentation. You scored high marks from the audience. I heard nothing but accolades as they were leaving.
Linda Bretthauer, Continuing Education Specialist, Lawrence, Kansas

I have been teaching Special Education for 20 years. This is the most beneficial conference I have ever attended. Thanks.
Anna Mae Riddle, Teacher, Leopold, Indiana

Finally! Useful strategies I can take back and use with my teachers.
Rhonda Barnett, Assistant Principal, Spring, Texas

I have sat through seminars with one speaker after another and have been bored to death. Dr. Sutton is easily two days well spent--Entertaining, Enjoyable and Educational.
Mack Painter, Licensed Professional Counselor, Iowa Park, Texas

I have always enjoyed learning and found your straight-forward style captivating. You brought in a lot of research and academic knowledge, yet made things very practical. Your thoughts and comments reminded me as a professional (and as a parent) never to give up, but to keep seeking ways that work for kids.                                                                                                                                                                                                  Michael Clark, Vice Principal, Littlerock High School (California)

Great seminar! I only wish I had had this seminar my first year of teaching. I think I'd been more prepared and ready for the real-world of teaching.
Jannica Schmill, SpEd Teacher, Destrehand, Louisiana

If Dr. Sutton won't come home with me to keep me sane, his workshop is the next best thing. Better than weeks of personal counseling!
parent--Wichita, Kansas (name withheld for child's sake)

I like the concrete strategies and examples Dr. Sutton gave for dealing with particular behaviors. Also, he did not say, "ALL will be cured," but offered hope and practical, sane advice.
Mary E. Clark, SpEd Teacher, Houston, Texas

You were perfect! You gave the teachers exactly what they needed to start the year off well. I heard no complaints--only praise for our speaker this year. Thanks so much!
Gordon Ann Tilley, Special Education Supervisor, Waco, Texas

As coordinator of the Dimension Series for the past twenty years (Texas A&M University, Kingsville), I have heard many excellent speakers from all over the United States. You rank among the best of them.
Travis R. Polk, Ph.D., Chairman-Dept. of Education, Kingsville, Texas

It seemed that Dr. Sutton was seeing into my home and classroom!
Norma Schmidt, Interrelated Teacher, Hillsboro, Kansas

This seminar was relevant to all students in all grade levels. There were many approaches and strategies that were useful. I look forward to using them right away.
Deanna Hamrick, Teacher, Houston, Texas

Thank you for a job well done. I used the concept of the overlapping circles...with one mother. She is now listening more, judging less and is being more introspective. Her daughter is finding her way back to school and completing homework more readily. It's always nice to hear experience coupled with expertise, insight and a practical approach.
Miquela Rivera, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist, Albuquerque, New Mexico

The formal and informal evaluations given each of your programs were outstanding. Comments such as "dynamic speaker", "humorous", "encouraging experience", "excellent presentation", "inspiring", and "every educator needs this information", were just some of the excellent comments made about your presentations.
Kolette N. Palacios, Continuing Education Specialist, San Marcos, Texas

Your knowledge and information you shared will be a benefit to us in our jobs and personal lives for a long time. You certainly exceeded expectations.
Nancy Carlisle, Staff Development Coordinator, Lake Jackson, Texas

Great, worthwhile interventions! Makes you want to go right to the classroom and start fresh.
Kim Dayhoff, teacher, Osage City, Kansas

What I especially liked about this seminar (in addition to the excellence of the content) is that Dr. Sutton worked progressively through the resource handbook. Many presenters are random, having us flip back and forth through the book. Dr. Sutton covered the material thoroughly and even knew the page numbers. I liked that!                                                                                                                                                                         Glenda Minniece, Classroom Management Consultant, Houston, Texas

The program attracted a record breaking crowd, and the participants evaluated your presentation highly.
Birgit Rahman, Program Coordinator, Lubbock, Texas

This seminar was very resourceful. As a first-year teacher, I discovered that a number of situations have been caused by my own lack of preparation. I look forward to implementing some of the suggestions this year--and for many years to come.
James Newton, Teacher, Hurley, MS

I just wanted to thank you for the wealth of USABLE information that I took back to my alternative behavior center to put to use."    Vicky Penny, Alternative Behavior Specialist, Burnet, Texas

Dr. Sutton gave me some creative, compassionate ways to deal with difficult behavior from students in class. More understanding of this situational behavior has helped me plan to develop better relationships with students who really need a good relationship with a teacher.
Julie Satterthwaite, First-Grade Teacher, Winfield, Kansas

Your presentation was informative, insightful, and chock full of practical ideas. One seldom is privileged to attend a workshop that combines such a wealth of data that is based on research and years of experience; your workshop was all of this, and more.
Nancy Dueppengiesser, Special Education Teacher, Greenville, Texas

Wonderful!
Andrea Ethington, Teacher, Norman, Oklahoma

I was so glad that I sat in on the morning session to learn more about the topic, and to see just how dynamic a presenter you truly are. From what I have seen you are just what every program coordinator looks for in a continuing adult educator.
Suzanne Johnson, Continuing Education Director, Edinburg, Texas

This is one of the most well organized and creatively presented workshops I have ever been to. I left the seminar with actual strategies to put into practice.
Joatte Kehe, Teacher, Tucson, Arizona

Dr. Sutton is an expert educator with the ability to verbally impart his learning, wisdom, and wit to fellow professional educators - always to their delight. No other speaker so captivates our array of staff members and prompts them to unanimously ask in writing for his repeated return for training presentations.
George W. Minturn, Special Education Consultant, Houston, Texas

Given the quality of your presentations, I'm not at all surprised that you are in such high demand!
Charles M. Wilson, Ph.D., Dean of Continuing Education, Shreveport, Louisiana

Comments from participants included: "excellent", "fabulous", "practical", "kept my attention all day" and "our entire staff should have been present."
Susan W. Lauffer, Professional Development Center Director, Bartlesville, Oklahoma

The Counseling and Guidance Coordinator told me that she had received many calls from staff members who had attended the first day and were pleading to go to the Friday session! Again, we want you to know how much we appreciate the excellent work you do each time you are here.
Susan P. Miller, Coordinator, Community Education Programs, Edinburg, Texas

I found Dr. Sutton's workshops to be very entertaining, with plenty of useful information and solutions. I've also found some ideas to use in working with my young staff to help motivate them. I can't wait to get back to my children at my center.
Lori Griffin, YMCA director, Kansas City, Missiouri

I thought you were fabulous and wished so much to have been able to stay the day.

Thank you for giving the Study Councils at Syracuse University one of the best received programs in years. We feel we could not have served them better. Not only is your program comprehensive and user friendly, your dedication to your work and the world that it encompasses is most impressive.
Sandy Trento, Associate Director of Continuing Education, Syracuse, New York

As a beginning teacher, I gleaned an abundant harvest from your presentation. Every morsel was a feast!

Dr. Sutton was an awesome keynoter! He captivated the conference participants and most certainly touched every heart. I promise, you could have heard a pin drop during his entire presentation. It was amazing!

I was so impressed with your knowledge of the subject. I have been to many workshops on working with difficult children, but this program WAS THE BEST BY FAR!
