I do no think the instructor stayed on the subject of twice exceptional children. He gave facts about disabilities but not how to work with them in the classroom.
Judith – LAREDO ISD (verified owner) –
The course was very informative in helping me understand the different learning disabilities and the characteristics of each. I think it better prepared me to know how to deal with children facing these challenges and how to better reach them for a more effective learning experience.
