  1. Bruce – MIAMI EAST LOCAL (verified owner) –

    I found a few strategies very usefully in this course; however, it is filled with a lot more information than one can process in a one hour session.

  2. Bethanie – CLEAR CREEK ISD (verified owner) –

    It’s good information, but the strategies are glossed over rather than discussed in detail.

  3. Macarena – CLEAR CREEK ISD (verified owner) –

    An eye-opener, especially when it comes to medication in ADHD kids. I have never liked the idea of giving kids drugs, because they stop being themselves. The presenter talks about side effects and dependency. ADHD drugs mask symptoms only.

  4. Michael – SPRING ISD (verified owner) –

    It was great!

  5. Teresita – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –

    Very helpful.

  6. JANE E – SOCORRO ISD (verified owner) –

    Excellent class that gave useful information about mental health issues kids deal with and strategies to implement in the classroom.
