Course Feedback
The course was a fantastic mix of information about teaching neuro-divergent students, demonstration of teaching techniques in action, and inspirational videos performances to show how much these students are capable of achieving.
The observation component was EXCELLENT to see how fast paced and structured Daphne kept her lessonsÂ
Hearing both the theoretical part and practical part as well as seeing the results of all the efforts of children, parents and professional was great.
I found the information about autism really helpful, especially the advice on avoiding tantrums.
The overall structure of each session was really well set out. Explaining the disability with examples, giving insight, then hearing from Daphne about the best ways to approach it, showing the student in a lesson, then a concert. Amazing!!
