Tamara – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) – August 2, 2020

this course was ok. It would have been since for the presenter to focus on one area and dive in deeper of how to accommodate the student in a gifted context. Also, several slides were not included, and I really did not like to pause a lot to make notes.

I think the speaker did a great job of explaining the most commonly seen disabilities with GT. He was easy to follow and fun to listen to.
