I felt that this course was very informative. Specifically the portion describing Autism as it was a longer portion within the lesson. I learned a lot of new things within this lesson that I found interesting. I feel everyone should have to take this course in LIFE to understand the different paths of life people are going through.

I really like this program. Some things I knew and it was some things I didn't know. It really helped me put some names with the actions I have seen displayed before in others with delays.
