The presenter was very informative. I believe it is necessary to know the behaviors and traits that certain students portray. I also believe it gave me a better understanding of the disorders that exist in our students.

I was very informational. I am a special education teacher that works with many students with these disabilities and it helped me see that I have a lot more information available to me to help my students be successful.

Lots of disabilities discussed – good information; hopefully teachers will have a better understanding behind the “why” of student behaviors that might disrupt the classroom or keep a student from doing what the teacher expects them to do.
