Testimonials
“Very informative and really makes you think about how much a visual impairment affects learning.
“This training has certainly given me a more in depth understanding of deafness and how this can impact on an individuals learning and communication as well as the support out there for children when starting in educational settings. I am certainly more mindful of my positioning when working with deaf children, such as not sitting in front of a window, which has resulted in the child remaining more focused on me.
“The training has helped me review my current practices - to re-evaluate some of the interventions I currently deliver and add in some additional interventions. Thus, ensuring I am better able to adapt my approach and offer the best interventions to support each individual child's needs.
“I have learned so much from this training. I feel confident in supporting and understanding the subject. We have a child in our class that is really benefiting from some of the strategies that have been implemented due to this training.
