Anyone with feedback? We would love to make improvements to the app based on your suggestions (for example, adding an age adjuster for preemies). Any suggestions for both additions to the free version or even features you would pay for? Also, if do you like our app, we humbly request you log into the App Store and "rate" TxTools for us, or better yet, write a one sentence review. Thanks for everything! - Heidi

What a great show! The app is a hit! and we talked to so many of you about your career plans and how PediaStaff can help. I was especially tickled with all of you I met who stopped by to say how you use our Pinterest site. (A couple of you practically made me cry with your specific intervention stories!!!) I am so blessed to work with such a dedicated group of professionals as OTs!!- Heidi
