Great information, I wish the presenter would have gone over/listed more strategies to treat/help students in the classroom. But she did a great job of covering the main disorders that we see in the schools.

The course is very helpful. My school is very proactive in dealing with these types of disorders, and this will help me do my part.

This course is too focused on the medical/diagnostic side of the disorders. As a classroom teacher, I do not diagnose or treat. I need more time on the strategies.
