I think this course is really relevant to helping gifted people in understanding their perceptions of the world and how other people perceive it. It helps people understand how to relate to each other. This video could be used in a high school setting to help peers interact better with each other.

This really helps you get to the understanding of the brain within the gifted student. It also helps you understand with examples what to look for and how to cope.
Crystal – Springfield City School District (verified owner) –
The task of moving the answers in the question identifying the 5 areas is misleading because the speaker said that BOTH emotional and intellectual worry about the well being of others. This is a misleading question due to what is stated in the lecture.

Great course.
Jaime – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –
I enjoyed this course.
Roger – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
It was pretty useful, especially if you aren’t already familiar with these kinds of issues. As in most educational material that appeals to neuroscience, its use is superficial and of only tentative validity.

It is my grandson and now I have more tools to help guide him
