I really enjoyed this course and the feedback provided by my instructor. I felt as if the information was valuable and applicable to my classroom and students. Never did I feel overwhelmed by the courseload or information and I would recommend this class for anyone considering or already working in Special Education. Dr. Lane made this class very enjoyable, thank you!

As a bilingual special education teacher, I found this course directly useful in my daily work. The IRIS Center case studies gave me realistic situations to think through, and the Rick Lavoie videos were the most powerful part. F.A.T. City let me feel, for a few minutes, the frustration my students live with every day. The reflection assignments asked me to examine my own practice, which is not something I take time for during the school year. The instructor's feedback was specific and encouraging. I would recommend this course to special education teachers and to general education teachers who co-teach.

Overall, I had a positive experience with this course. The content was relevant to my work as a speech-language pathologist, and I appreciated the practical strategies and resources that I can apply in a school setting. The assignments encouraged meaningful reflection without feeling disconnected from real-world practice, making the course both useful and engaging.

High Incidence Disabilities is a very comprehensive course covering all of the learning disabilities that you will see in students in your classroom. You will finish the course with a "tool it" on accommodations and how to address the needs of your students.

Amazing and Awesome Course! The instructor was outstanding and encouraging! I was a little apprehensive taking an online course because I am not a techy! If I did it ; anyone can. If I have to take another professional development master's level course, it will be from FPU and hopefully this instructor!

Unfortunately, I found this course frustrating because it was disorganized. For example, the printed syllabus contained an assignment that I completed, but when I went to submit it, there was no place for it on Moodle (It was to write a summary of Chapter 1 in Mastropieri/Scruggs.) Also, I was told the use the FPU template for my lesson plans but couldn't find it anywhere. Another example is the OHI Lesson Plan assignment. The printed syllabus said not to use previous lesson plans, but Moodle said to revise lesson plans I had already completed. Several times we were instructed to upload multiple lesson plans, but Moodle would only allow a smaller number than we were instructed to submit. Then assignments had to be combined into the same document. There are many, many more examples but I'll stop there. And the printed syllabus was full of typos. I suppose if I didn't print the syllabus and just went off Moodle it would have been much better, but I wanted to have a physical way to track my assignments. The content of this class was good. My only complaint is the lack or organization. I would have enjoyed this class much more if the instructions were clearer.
