  5. Elizabeth – VAN WERT CITY (verified owner) –

    I really enjoy all of Lisa Van Gemert’s presentations. Really appreciate her breaking each of these families down into how to recognize it (potentially), how it can be treated, but most relevant to me, how to deal with it “within the ideal classroom”. Very relevant with more and more students experiencing trauma, being diagnosed.

  7. Stacy – CARDINAL LOCAL (verified owner) –

    This class really helped me learn more about anxiety disorder, since I have been having some students with this over the past few years.

  9. Diane – CARLISLE LOCAL (verified owner) –

    This was very informational but without a handout some of it was hard to follow.

  10. Patricia – SPRING ISD (verified owner) –

    Very interesting. Good strategies.
