The course content was thorough and covered a range of topics, including assessment and intervention strategies. I appreciated the emphasis on evidence-based practices and the use of real-world examples to illustrate key concepts. While some of the course materials felt a bit dry at times, the overall quality was good and the instructors were knowledgeable and supportive.
