Differential diagnosis is always a major topic in the schools and determining WHO is providing interventions and if it requires that specialized instruction. This is a great framework to look back to.

This course was excellent because it integrated current research with real-world clinical and educational applications. The content was well organized, evidence-based, and clearly connected theory to practice. Discussions and assignments promoted critical thinking, and the focus on neurodevelopmental diversity strengthened my understanding of assessment and intervention across learning and communication domains.

To realize that there are time sequences/scaffolding considerations and assessment choices but especially observations about how the child is actually functioning that should all be considered for interventions.

I have a difficult time with the content in this 20Q format. This would, in my opinion be more easily comprehended in a video or auitory context due to the nature of the information. It was also just harder for me to maintain focus and attention in this format for some reason. I struggled a bit with the content. It may just not suit my learning style. Good information though.
