Imagine the frustration of being diagnosed, labeled, and even called “crazy”; when you’re actually a perfectly “normal” genius. Mental health and behavioral disorder diagnoses are a hot topic in education, and for good reason. Diagnosis and medication rates are skyrocketing, and gifted students often fall victim to misdiagnosis due to the complex, every-day functioning of their brains.

    There is a lot of quality information in this course! I am glad that I took it!

  2. Dawn – TOLEDO CITY (verified owner) –

    It was full of important information to use when talk generates about disorders and the differences. It will help me when I observe and am asked my opinion on the child and do I feel its one diagnosis or the other. I also feel like I need to reflect and learn how to give the gifted child what they need to succeed and some grace when defying authority.
