This was very informative about the symptoms of some disabilities. (Including my own as I am dyslexic.) He gives great strategies of how to best help these students achieve all they can and earn better understanding from you and their peers.

It’s an overview of twice exceptional kids. I already knew most of the info, so. . . If you were unfamiliar, it would be helpful.

Enjoyed the course. Lots of good information.
Tami – Coshocton City Schools (verified owner) –
This was an interesting, informative course. The presenter was excellent. The content was not exactly what I was expecting, but perhaps I’m not sure what I WAS expecting. Good information, but less practical “how to”…but it was only a one-hour course. Great overview of subject.

enjoyed the strategies
Cristina – MONTGOMERY ISD (verified owner) –
The 15 steps should not have been included – seems like it should have been another seminar. Not pertinent here as were several other items.

I liked that this course included information on different types of disabilities to give an overview of what most educators encounter on a day to day basis.
