guter übersichtlich und strukturierter Aufbau, gute Bilder. Danke für den tollen Input. Ein paar praktische Übungsbeispiele hätte ich mir gewünscht.

übersichtlich und informativ mit guten Hintergrundinformationen, ich hätte mir nur noch etwas mehr praktische Übungen
Der Kurs war gut und übersichtlich aufgebaut und enthielt viele wertvolle Hintergrundinformationen. Ich hätte mir noch etwas mehr praktische Übungen gewünscht, die ich direkt mit den Kindern umsetzen kann. Ansonsten fand ich den Kurs wirklich super – vielen Dank für eure engagierte und tolle Arbeit!

zu wenig detailiert
Ich fand den Kurs gut und sehr ansprechend aufgebaut. Ich hätte mir jedoch mehr Fachwissen bzw. noch mehr "Neurowissen" ins Detail gewünscht. Um das Wissen an Patient:innen weiter zu geben, waren die gewählten Bilder und die Sprache sehr gut. Auch zwei / drei Praxisbeispiele hätte ich mir noch gewünscht.

Bien construit, avec une bonne logique d'apprentissage
C'est le premier cours online que je fais. Je dois m'habituer au fonctionnement. C'était bien construit. C'est bien d'avoir des quizz.
J'ai été surprise d'avoir des info en plus, facultatives, je n'avais pas calculé assez de temps.
J'espère que vous réussirez à organiser la formation complète.
