Testimonials
“It has really made me think about how Dyslexia affects students - and where it is derived from (physically) - which enables me to make links now between seemingly disparate things (such as disorganisation and reading).
“Personally the training has given me a greater understanding and recognition of children who have motor coordination difficulties and what they face. When you know what they (and the parents) are facing it gives you a better basis on how to help them and ensure a more positive outcome. The training has also helped in the various strategies that can be implemented within the school setting. The notes are something I can refer to which is also a great help. I have found this training very interesting and informative.
“It has given more ways and new ideas on how to help deaf students. It has shown how to keep them as inclusive as possible which is good for their mental health and self-esteem. Which can be very much affected if not, it can make them feel very alone. I know a child who was like this when he was moved to another school away from his friends, luckily he has settled now.
“It has made me think more about how as a team in the class we could help individual pupils progress.
