- How to help other educators understand what to do if a gifted child is suspected of having ADHD

Kinda seemed like some of the statements could be misinterpreted as something else. Especially the statement saying the medical doctors don’t get this?

Great Course!
Ashley – CARROLLTON-FARMERS BRANCH ISD (verified owner) –
I didn’t like the tone of the course; it presented giftedness as good and ADHD as bad, when both terms should be neutral and students can be both gifted and have ADHD, and will need support either way. I do think it is important to have training of how the two often overlap, but would like it to be presented in a manner that doesn’t paint one label as more desirable than the other.

Robert – HALLSVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
This course was informative but focused mostly on the “gifted” student. As someone that has ADHD and is gifted, I felt like the pace and style of presentation was not effective, given the topic was in regards to ADHD and Gifted students. I felt the presenter was dismissive and arrogant when she made comments how other professionals were wrong or uninformed because they had not taken “her course.”

Melissa – VICTORIA ISD (verified owner) –
The course was eye opening to aspects of comparing ADHD & GT that I had not considered given my personal experiences with both in my family. I appreciated the addressing how both manifest from different angles including judgement lag & emotion, which often take a back seat to the physical, social, & Intellectual significance.
