This course would be a great resource for learners with special learning needs or executive functioning deficits such as ADHD or Autism.
No materials will be required for this course. A pencil and paper may be suggested to help with their "brain dumps" but it is not a necessity to complete the lesson.

No outside sources will be used in this course.
