He does this in various ways such as use of call and response (choral response), small group work, audience participation, movement and music, continual questioning and other methods that require the audience to do something. Larry believes learning is an interactive process that only occurs when both the presenter and the audience’s minds are active and engaged with each other.
- Larry’s strategies get results!: Larry provides highly effective strategies that have been used successfully for the last 20 years.

Larry invites the audience to contact these individuals if they choose.
