It would be difficult to imagine anyone instructing this course any better than Chris Garcia! I have taken this class online in the past and having him "in-person" was even better. Yet, the online course was awesome as well. Chris's passion comes through in his teachings and truly inspires the participants to engage and learn to do the right things. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to attend and learn from the best! Thank You!!

I have taken other classes with Chris, and he is always very interesting! He teaches in a way that keeps his students' attention. He is passionate about what he is teaching. He wants to make sure his students are successful at understanding the information and also taking the quiz, so he gives examples. When I saw that I needed to take the class, I was glad to see that he would be the instructor, because of my previous classes with him. Thank you for a job well done.

Great class! I loved your intro and the history illustrating how far we've come in developmental services. If time permits, you may want to add the evolution of language in this field of work to help people understand why words like "retarded" is derogatory.
