  1. Karen – OLENTANGY LOCAL (verified owner) –

    5 stars

  2. Ana – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    It is my grandson and now I have more tools to help guide him

  3. Roger – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –

    It was pretty useful, especially if you aren’t already familiar with these kinds of issues. As in most educational material that appeals to neuroscience, its use is superficial and of only tentative validity.

  4. Jaime – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –

    I enjoyed this course.

  5. Damon – PEARLAND ISD (verified owner) –

    Great course.

  6. Crystal – Springfield City School District (verified owner) –

    The task of moving the answers in the question identifying the 5 areas is misleading because the speaker said that BOTH emotional and intellectual worry about the well being of others. This is a misleading question due to what is stated in the lecture.

  7. Paige – PLANO ISD (verified owner) –

    This really helps you get to the understanding of the brain within the gifted student. It also helps you understand with examples what to look for and how to cope.

  8. Heather – PEARLAND ISD (verified owner) –

    Presenter uses a variety of personal examples to help the participant understand each overexcitabilities.

  9. Liz – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    very interesting and informative

  10. Monica – UNITED ISD (verified owner) –

    It is interesting how she is able to explain what goes on in the mind of a gifted child.
