Visual learners comprehend concepts best when there are visual aids to complement learning. Examples of this could include graphs, symbols, depictions, or otherwise.

April 2nd, 2020

We're talking a lot about virtual needs and resources these days, but what about needs for those who NEED to be in-person?
