    I liked that the course provided qualities and characteristics about students that are gifted. I also liked the examples she gave in her lecture.

  2. Melia – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –

    I am still looking for concrete answers as to how best to serve ADHD kids in a non-gifted setting.

  3. Oscar – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –

    It was great! I learned a lot.

  4. Micaela – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –

    I liked this course! Lots of good info on ADHD vs Giftedness that I hadn’t thought of before. I also loved the speakers “choice”. Was she going to choose to be ADHD or choose to be Gifted? Since she was both, she made the choice to be creative (gifted). I love that outlook!
