Margarita – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –
I liked learning information about the disorders or syndromes. Getting a refresher every year is key because I tend to forget.
Amber – PROSPER ISD (verified owner) –
I thought it was very informative, especially as a teacher of young students. Being able to identify different traits in my learners could lead to earlier intervention for them.

It was beneficial. I do wish that we would have been able to hear more about the simulations that he does for his students. Some of them were cut from the video. I assume it was a time issue.
