Presenter did a fantastic job with her presentation. It was very informative.
Mary – Private Pay (verified owner) –
It was helpful, but didn’t give information about how to give the POE student the latitude to do what he/she needs to do to be comfortable and not have the other students see that as acceptable/expected behavior for all the students. That would have been a helpful hint for the teacher.
