    I learned a lot about how little we actually know about gifted students. This course has actually made me worry about how many children (and adults) out there have been misdiagnosed as having other mental disorders when, in reality, they are just way smarter than the average!

    Great…lots of valuable information.

    Very informative session to help us better understand the GT and ADHD students.
