I found the Professional Certificate in Special Education Law and Advocacy (Advanced) to be a really useful course. As a teacher in Egypt, I was looking to improve my understanding of special education laws and how to support students with disabilities. The course covered a lot of practical topics, such as Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and Section 504 plans, which I can apply directly to my work. The instructors were knowledgeable and the course materials were well-organized, but I did find some of the assignments to be a bit challenging. Overall, I'm glad I took the course and I think it will help me to better support my students.
