MANAGING ADHD, AUTISM, LEARNING DISABILITIES, AND CONCUSSION IN SCHOOL からの人気レビュー
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.
as an occupational therapist, this help me review the basics of ADHD, Autism, learning disorder as well as concussion injuries. I know this would help me a lot in my practice.
Found that some of the reading was basic, and regionally and culturally biased. Some of the reading added some real value and reinforcement!
This course is very useful and make me understand basic about the managing ADHD, Autism, Learning Disabilities, and Concussion. These very easy to understand.

Health and learning are closely connected in the school setting, where good health and healthy practices create the optimal conditions for students’ academic success. And the contrary is also true: poor heath and unhealthy practices build tall barriers to student learning.
