    Great

  2. Chryssa – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –

    Great and useful information for teachers to understand if they have any students with mental health issues

  3. Mario – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    Excellent, students deal with so many problems from their home life that we often attribute any struggles in their academic advancement to simply being disinterested in their future when their challenges are being fought for longer periods of time after and before even entering the class. These symptoms, diagnosis, and strategies serve as essential tools to best approach these instances in the classroom.

  4. Corey – PEARLAND ISD (verified owner) –

    The course was well-presented, well-organized and highly informative.

    This was a essential class every educator should take. So informative about different disorders, but not too overwhelming.
