Great overview of the classifications. I was only familiar with the GMFCS. So I learned a lot—thanks.

Great overview
This course gave me a good overview of the various classification systems that exist and how they relate to one another. I also received some helpful tips for my day-to-day work in therapy on how to better apply these classifications. Thank you!

A brief overview, easy to follow.
The sound quality of the texts being read aloud is a bit poor, or rather, too quiet.
