What do you love about this course?
Betsy Butler: There's so much to love about this course. From the cutting edge research, to the strengths-based focus. I think that my favorite part is that there is an application to celebrate the strength of those neurodiverse learners in your classroom and really highlighting that the ability to do all these amazing things and to think differently is such an asset to our classroom and our world. And I think that this course delivers on that promise.
