Student comments on Children with Special Needs: Physical Disabilities: "Thank you! The courses [Child Development through Play, Preschoolers in Child Care, and Children with Special Needs: Physical Disabilities] came in much sooner then I expected. Which was a blessing and the staff talked about how much they learned from each lesson they studied." - Klamath Falls, Oregon "Thank you for following up with me about the course. I felt that the course was very self-explanatory. The course was also very helpful. I do not have any special needs children in my care, however, this course was great to know all the facts about the special needs children. For the future, if I do have children in my care with any type of special needs, I can take the proper tools I have learned to make sure I take the best of care for all my children." - Westville, Illinois "I love using Care Courses. I find each course super informative and I use what I learn each day with the children I care for. Thank you for keeping me inspired! ;) -Chelmsford, Massachusetts
