"When I was going through this course the first thing I thought of is lack of education. I wish my educational days provided us with classes to learn more about these types of learning disabilities. I remember briefly reading about some of them, but this course has greatly helped me understand them more at a deeper level."

"The most striking course experience for me was connecting with roots of my own learning as someone who faced LDs throughout my education and life experiences. I overcame many of my academic obstacles finding and working in unique ways to promote a deeper sense of learning often surpassing my own colleagues in my abilities to visualize, integrate and solve problems. In a way, I owe that sense of uniqueness to being faced with many “opportunities” to deal with my own LDs. I consider students with SpLDs very unique and talented as well."

"This course has provided a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing SpLDs in the classroom. The emphasis on early intervention, individualized assessment, and the interplay between cognitive, emotional, and social factors has profoundly impacted my approach to teaching. Moving forward, I am excited to apply these insights to create a supportive, inclusive, and empowering learning environment for all my students."

"This is honestly one of the best and most useful courses I have taken. To me, student success (both in the academic and personal realm) is a critical part of teaching. The course was meaningful in a variety of ways. I felt overwhelmed with happiness that a lot of what I am already doing was helpful and on the right path to help students succeed."

"Of all the courses I have taken in the past five to six years, this course was the most enlightening. There was so much information presented that I will need to revisit my notes in a few weeks to continue my reflection on this course. The idea of working towards a less disruptive classroom to help improve teaching and learning, although fairly obvious, is easy to overlook."
--J.C. from Ohio
"I am very happy with taking this course. After being in the classroom for four years, I was able to really learn and reflect throughout taking this course. I have a difficult group of students this upcoming year, both academically and behaviorally, and I feel that I have learned a lot to help me with my new students. This course will not only help me understand my students better, but it will also help me know how to take action with helping these kids in the most productive and successful way."
