Testimonials

I know I said questions 1-3 I was only somewhat confident with; although I’m confident with the theory, I feel like I need more practice in person before I will be fairly/strongly confident. I look forward to implementing this training in my practice, which, due to the school I work at, is very child led.

Deafness

I will now look to break down targets.
On starting this course, I had little knowledge of visual impairments and although we do have students with a VI, I have not been directly involved with their support. I now feel I have a much better understanding of the complexities and range of conditions that affect a person's sight as well as how young people have overcome barriers to go on and achieve. I will be researching two particular eye conditions which relate to students at our college. I will also be reading their EHCPs and support needs. Both of these actions will improve the support I could give should I be required to work with those students. I will look at how we adapt lessons to make them more inclusive for students with a visual impairment and be mindful of the social interaction difficulties that are particular to a VI student. Lastly, the importance of promoting independence and seeing how this can best be achieved or improved has been highlighted by completing this course.
Toward the end of my training, I was able to implement but more importantly understand the meaning of Dyslexia and the struggles that a pupil may face whilst at school. Basic things like copying off a whiteboard or remembering a list of instructions to complete classwork. This understanding definitely helped me to support my student/students in one-to-one sessions as well as just recognizing the challenges that they would be facing in a larger class setting, which helped me to come alongside the student and support them in the way that they need. e.g repeating the instructions by simplifying them down to one at a time or writing it down for the student. I realized quickly that the principles learned could be used with any student in the class too. A simple thing like not being organized for the lesson with the right stationery or books was not always a fault of their own. I am really glad that I was able to do this course and I look forward to passing on the little knowledge that I have retained and encouraging the school to look into this more.
