Testimonials

“I thought the last video was very clear and this gave more knowledge of how a person with ASD felt from his young years to reaching adulthood. With this knowledge I feel more confident in understanding how a child may react to certain secondary classroom /subjects. this will give me the confidence to implement appropriate strategies when supporting students with ASD.

Teaching Assistant

“Understanding how visual impairments impact development and learning will help me support students more effectively.

Teaching Assistant

Vision Impairment (Further Education)

“I have become more aware of children' s difficulties and what interventions you could use for them.

Qualified Teacher

Dyspraxia and Motor Coordination Difficulties

“Listening and learning from the wonderful learners describing how they feel, how they see, how they learn has been invaluable. Making small changes to enable our learners to have the same opportunity to succeed as their peers. Understanding what we can do as educators to best support our learners with Autism. Understanding it's the environment and communication that needs to be tweaked - reasonable adjustments need to be put into place to enable same access to same information just delivered in a different way. Thinking about how you can teach through visual communication rather than too much talk. This has been a great training tool and I am super pleased I have been able to access. Thank you.

Other Position

“It has provided me with strategies to implement and given me cause to think on how I can improve the way I deal with negative behaviours.

Qualified Teacher

Understanding and Supporting Behaviour

“As a DSA specialist mentor, it will give me the confidence to ensure that the VI specialist assessor's needs assessment is implemented to the full at the university. Also, that I can discuss any emerging needs of the student and we can work out a plan to meet them.

Other Position

Vision Impairment (Further Education)

“I am confident that I now possess the information and knowledge to have a positive impact on the learning of deaf children.

Other Position

“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).
