Lindzee – KILLEEN ISD (verified owner) –
Very informative about different disabilities.
Amy – BURLESON ISD (verified owner) –
I thought that some of the statements about the various disorders seemed outdated or overly generalized. It really was not on topic – the learning disabilities or disorders that may affect learning (ADHD, Autism, etc.) were explained, but there wasn’t much talk about how this plays out in twice-exceptional students.

I enjoy comparing and contrasting learning difference!

This is a great and very informative course. I just have one observation, I do not think Bill Cosby should be in the example picture, he harmed girls and it turns my stomach to see that he is put as an example. I would like to think that this presentation was put together prior to the findings on this actor.

I rarely give a low rating, but I simply did not enjoy this presentation. It might have been better 10 years ago, but I don’t feel like I learned anything new (he referenced TAKS). He mostly read from the slides, which was not very engaging, and one part of the presentation bothered me on a personal level and I just couldn’t bring myself to enjoy the rest of the presentation.
Shirley – HUTTO ISD (verified owner) –
It was very informative!
