What people are saying.

  • “This is a very impressive and well-written series. Because of the author’s passion for student success, I was motivated to try the innovative practices presented. As an educational consultant, I would be quick to recommend the Densing Method to elementary teachers and particularly to teachers that work with students with special needs. Parents can also benefit from the practices and ideas presented in the Densing Method books. Most notable are the proven, hands-on ideas for encouraging students to become involved in co-designing their own learning materials, prompting immediate engagement as students take ownership of their learning. I found the Densing Method books to be exciting and fun as well as being packed with proven practices!"

  • “As the father of six children, we placed an enormous emphasis on our children’s education. Far too many children are over schooled and under educated. The Densing Teaching Method outlines an educational teaching model that is both engaging and practical. I especially enjoyed her emphasis on playful learning. Making learning an enjoyable experience for both the parent/teacher and the child. I highly recommend this book to any parent serious about educating their children in the most effective and enjoyable way.“

  • “Working as a licensed, clinical social worker in the field of children’s mental health for the past 29 years, I have over 41,000 direct service hours working with children and families. After reading Mrs. Densing's book series, many of her activities with regard to promoting self-esteem, communication of feelings, frustration management, and developing yourself as a competent and caring professional are efficacious and evidence-based best practices I use in my practice. The Densing Teaching Method book series is a comprehensive step-by-step, practical how-to guide that will certainly aid in the step-by-step day by day week by week interventions that are essential to the wholistic progress of the child. Her thoughtful and thorough instruction instantiates within the reader the necessary practice for guiding the neuro-divergent child. Parents, providers, and teachers will find Mrs. Densing’s book series a roadmap full of rich resources and guidance towards successful learning and healthy development."

  • “As a first-year teacher working in Special Education, I have benefited from multiple ideas from The Densing Teaching Method in different areas of learning. I especially love the creative and engaging ideas that are embedded in this book for the area of math. There are great “thinking outside the box” ideas for teaching addition using regrouping and subtraction using borrowing. My students enjoy putting rings on fingers for simple addition up to 20 and can even make their own finger ring counting posters themselves as an art activity! The content in this book is enriched with fun and engaging activities that help students connect concepts through hands-on learning, and I have loved using them in my classroom!”

  • “As a teacher practicing in public and private programs in the field of Special Education since the late 1980’s, I feel proud to say we have come a long way in providing individualized and very specialized instruction for students with special needs. However, providing the very direct, motivational methodology that is outlined in this book often remains a major challenge for parents, caretakers, and professionals.

    The Densing Method is a must-read for anyone who loves, works with, and/or is assigned to children or adults with challenges related to delays or disabilities.

    For parents and educators, to provide very individual, specialized, motivational, and sensory opportunities that allow all students unique opportunities to improve social, behavioral, verbal, non-verbal, and academic performance.

    The research, methodology, and reflection shown by the Densing Teaching Method gives all readers new hope for education.

    The strategies in this book will empower parents and educators to move beyond the goal and expectations. It’s time to move beyond the progress report, the report card, and the comparison of one individual to another, and honor each individual for their very unique ability to teach others; to teach us all how to improve and focus on the mysterious, artistic, playful, and positive outcomes in life.”
