Do I have to watch this all in one go? What is the format?
Nope absolutely not. It is presented in bite size segments ranging from 5 minutes to 20 minutes. This is purposely done to allow for people to dip in and dip out and to watch it in whichever way suits their learning style and the situation in which they are in. It is also intended that people pause, practice the exercises, reflect on them, discuss, and so forth. People may want to revisit and repeat them as well. This is also done in smaller sections to optimise people’s engagement, concentration, and attention; and to encourage people to move around, take brain breaks, practice the regulating activities etc.
Is there opportunities for more training or consultation with Dr Treisman?
Absolutely, depending on our capacity and availability, we offer one-to-one or team spaces to discuss the nuts and bolts of your specific situation. We also offer FAQ or thinking spaces for those to reflect and embed learning after engaging in the module. Please email [email protected] We also are hoping to work on lots of projects together and are so motivated by what is most useful- so please do pop us wish list, requests, and suggestions.
Why does the format seem not studio ready? Why have you used this platform?
Please note these modules are being created in a real and down to earth way. Every effort has been made to make them useful and interesting, but like this topic, it is real world and flexible.

Feedback on previous modules has been very positive. They also have a great customer support and online trouble-shooting support if needed. Please when using the platform ensure that you input your details correctly and keep them somewhere safe. This includes selecting an email address you can access from home and work.
