  1. Heather – MIDLOTHIAN ISD (verified owner) –

    Good Info.

  2. Ashly – BOERNE ISD (verified owner) –

    Not all discussion questions are mentioned in this course. Instructor talked way to much about herself and her son.

  3. MJ – WYLIE ISD (verified owner) –

    The videos stalled about 2/3 the way through. It was not my internet connection as my other device was working fine. From what I saw though, it was a good explanation of the differences between ADHD and Giftedness

  4. Kelly – NORTHRIDGE LOCAL (verified owner) –

    The speaker was dry.
