This course is very informative about managing ASD and ADHD. It is a great starting point for teachers, parents, or any family member who has or wants to learn how to help someone with a disability.

This course is manageable and in depth with the mental challenges that children face in the classrooms and how to manage them. I recommend this course to anyone interested in working with children.

Great course! Information is presented well, however I feel that the quizzes sometimes focus on niche, or less-important information from the lessons. For example, the "learning disabilities" quiz felt as if not much thought was put into it, and it seemed to test everything else other than symptoms of, and ways to manage the said disabilities.

Very good grounding for school based staff. One or two spelling errors and one of the test questions had ADHD substituted for LAI but otherwise great!

THE ASSESSMENT PROCESS COULD BE MADE MORE CHALLENGING AND INTERESTING BY GETTING THE LEARNERS TO FILL OUT SOME OBSERVATION FORMS, ETC.

This course is for school nurses--two sections did not address the school nurse role at all, and a third touched on it only as an afterthought. The information was good, though, if repetitive. The tests are not completely written in standard English, and several times correct answers are marked to be incorrect.

I am currently working as an instructional assistant with children K-5, I took the course to enrich my knowledge due to my job and my friends who are suffering with ADHD, I encouraged young adults to be part of the course, one of them said "some parents don't believe kids can be suffering mentally because of how they provide food and shelter for the child."

The same Young adult said " It's important to know how they are doing mentally, not just feed them, cloth them and that's it, their mental health is very important."

I learnt a lot about different disorders and injuries from the brain in educational setting. As a future teacher, I helped me to be prepared to assist any student who needs special curricular adjustments, how to manage this phenomena, among other skills and knowledge. In addition, the teachers were clear with the explanations and it was easy to understand, the materials available were enriching as well.

This course helped me to understand and be prepared when I encounter students having mental health or psychological problems. I learned a lot and enjoyed learning more about how to manage students with these kinds of problems in school.

I thought this course was great for someone like myself who wanted a basic overview of learning disabilities, with specific information on ADHD and Autism. I am not using this as a career builder, but am a new parent to a neuro divergent child so this has been very helpful.
