This course was. I would like to be able to go back and look at it again in parts at different times and obtain copies of notes from presenter. This was eye opening for me as a teacher and parent. I realize there are many more things to consider for all students I had and have that look with characteristics or ADHD. This course helped me to make sense of their behavior and academic achievement. And it is very important to be aware of their similarities that produce misdiagnosis, as well of expectations from each. And other reasons to misdiagnose GT. Definitely gave us a higher level view and a more complete tapestry of a GT personality. Thank you. This is the best about GT I ever took.
