clear and informative with good background information, I would have liked just a little more practical exercises

The course was well and clearly structured and contained a lot of valuable background information. I would have liked a bit more practical exercises that I could implement directly with the children. Apart from that, I thought the course was really great - thank you very much for your commitment and great work!

not detailed enough

I found the course good and very attractively structured. However, I would have liked more specialist knowledge or even more "neuroknowledge" in detail. The images and language chosen were very good for passing on the knowledge to patients. I would also have liked two or three practical examples.

Well structured, with good learning logic

This is the first online course I've ever taken. I need to get used to how it works. It was well structured. It's good to have quizzes. I was surprised to have extra, optional info; I didn't calculate enough time. I hope you'll manage to organize the complete training.
