Great for 1st time teachers. It gives a great summary/ explanation for different disabilities and helps us have a better understanding of what our students go through.

Overall, I found this to be an interesting course. I like the mention of the “other” disabilities that 2e students may be diagnosed with; however, I felt that there should have been a stronger correlation between the giftedness and the other exception of learning. A good teacher knows disabilities, syndrome, and diseases. Now show me HOW the present themselves with the student who is identified as gifted.

The majority of this course focused on discussing different learning disabilities and strategies to use with them. I would have like to have more details and strategies to help with integrating the strengths of 2E students into their learning challenges.
