Healthy Families Florida Program Managers' Training, 2006:
"Dr. Marsha Luginbuehl conducted two workshops at a recent Healthy Families Florida Program Managers' Meeting on the following topic: "Healthy Sleeping Habits for Infants and Toddlers". Dr. Luginbuehl presented exciting new research on pediatric sleep hygiene and sleep disorders. She reviewed new medical / educational research and parent testimonials documenting significant improvements in children's school achievement and daytime behaviors once their sleep problems were corrected. We did not realize that sleep problems were so prevalent in children, or that they could be easily identified and corrected if professionals working with children are well-informed and screen for pediatric sleep problems / disorders. Dr. Luginbuehl's sleep workshop received high marks from participants. Listed below are some of the written comments from the workshop evaluations:
"Excellent information which I can pass on to my staff."
"Great Training!"
"This workshop was surprisingly very informative and awareness was really beneficial."
"Presenter was very prepared & had thorough knowledge of sleep problems/disorders."
"Wealth of knowledge in this area."
We would highly recommend Dr. Luginbuehl as a presenter to any para-professional or professional group working
with children and adolescents."

Idaho School Psychologist Association, 346 Carol Avenue, Idaho Falls, Idaho:
"Dr. Marsha Luginbuehl presented at our fall, 2005 state conference about the detection, treatment, and monitoring the effectiveness of the treatment of sleep disturbance. She held the audience engrossed for both the morning and afternoon sessions. There was standing room only during part of the sessions (I know, I was one who was standing), but it was well worth it. Her organization of presentation was outstanding, and the information absolutely vital to the daily practice of school psychology. Dr. Marsha, as she came to be known in the conference, was patient with our questions and not only answered them, but she connected them to the knowledge that we had already acquired. In the post-conference rating, 94% of the marks from her audience were in the top two categories for interest, useful information, organization of presentation, and overall rating.
I think the ultimate compliment, which summarizes our feelings, was expressed by a member who said, "I can use this information tomorrow and I can grow professionally with it."
Dr. Marsha Luginbuehl has our utmost respect and appreciation for the outstanding presentation and the research that she did in preparation. It is made even better by a supporting product that makes the presentation and knowledge of greater use to school psychologists in the field. Sleep Disturbance is a complete package that addresses an area of great need within the school age population that has previously been under-recognized."

Gene Lund, President
