This is a Great & High Quality Course Libby! It is a course which is very informative & a great price & provides a large amount of helpful information which would take hours to find if you were looking individually! I have enjoyed doing the course and would highly recommend it to friends & relatives & others looking for this type of career, & also a parent trying to find out information about what is going on with their child & how to find help & support! Great Job Libby! I am also looking forward to doing my next course with you & Udemy!

Quality of Information and presentation of information was generally good. There were a few spelling and grammatical errors. I particularly liked the different modalities of presentation – unlike some online courses where there’s just an overload of text to read. This had a more personal touch. The accompanying resources were adequate and useful. I would have liked a case study presented or visual example of how dyslexia presents itself in the classroom. I felt the quizzes were far too easy with predictable, obvious answers. I would like to suggest that the Sections are re-titled to ‘Modules’ in line with course information and content. Overall, I learned a lot and would recommend this course to others. Well done Libby you are a great presenter. I look forward to studying with you again.

Another great course by Libby Seery. Her courses are first class with an abundance of resources. This particular topic is very interesting and I’m looking forward to learning more about Dyslexia.
I have just completed the course which has provided me with the knowledge to fully understand the challenges someone with dyslexia has to try and conquer.
As always great course, brilliant tutor.

Hi, This on-line course is highly recommended. I am working as a volunteering in a school and my special interest is to work with SEN, recently I completed my SEN diploma and wanted to do learn about dyslexia. Here I got the platform to learn more about dyslexia. Thanks a lot to tutor Libby.

I have enjoyed the course and the ability to complete it on my various computers and tablets was awesome. I work in the field of Dyslexia ( DSA Students) and am mildly Dyslexic myself. I particularly like the links to the real world and the reminder that Dyslexic people can be placed at a disadvantage at work or education. Perhaps some You
Tube clips on actual testing and assessing would have helped more. This certainly whets the appetite and I hope there are more courses that may specialise in some of the key areas. Thank you and what an excellent start of teh year for me.

Dr. Cynthia S. Hirtzel –
This course has truly been amazing and above expectations. The course topics and materials are well-organized and presented in a logical and flowing manner. The resources accompanying the videos and lectures are outstanding, thorough and comprehensive. The Instructor is exemplary; clear, succinct and easy to understand. This has been a superior online learning experience, and i have benefited in many ways from this course (e.g., including gaining new information and insights into dyslexia and all aspects of managing dyslexia in various environments). Also important are the Instructor’s discussions of diversity, inclusion and related concepts. Clearly, the Instructor is knowledgeable, experienced, and compassionate. Overall and in brief, this course has been an exceptional and exemplary learning experience. The Instructor is a gifted facilitator of student learning, the highest compliment i can offer to an educator. Thanks to the Instructor and to Udemy for developing,implementing and offering this beautiful, informative, interesting course in the online format.
