What I liked best about the CTER OnLine program: The CTER OnLine program offered students the flexibility to complete course work without having to attend to actual classes. I liked being able to work independently and at my own rate when completing homework assignments.

How I managed to fit the coursework into my hectic life: The CTER program, in my opinion, was rigorous and has consumed a great deal of my over the past two years. Basically, I dedicated 10-15 per week to complete course work.

CTER OnLine has impacted my professional career in the following ways: Because I now have a master's in education, I will be able to work as a developmental therapist for the state and will be able to earn more money.

Have you had any major life changes you'd like to share? (marriages, births, new jobs, etc.) I began the program when my daughter, Ellie, was three months old. During the third course of the CTER program, I found out Ellie was profoundly deaf. After months of evaluation and diagnosis, Ellie had cochlear implant surgery to restore her hearing. She can now hear and is speaking. Her therapist expect her to be mainstreamed by the time she is in kindergarten. I am expecting my second baby within the next 6 weeks!! Boy, somedays I wondered how I made it through the past two years!!

My most memorable experience in the CTER OnLine program: The instructors in the CTER OnLine program deserve much credit. Each of the instructors have been a pleasure to work with.
