“Due to the current Corvid 19 situation, I have not been able to put some of the additional knowledge I have gained into practice. I hope following this situation I will have the extra knowledge and confidence in supporting schools with pupils that have motor co- ordination difficulties.

“I feel more confident in understanding SI. I can understand when a student describes their condition. I am more confident in being aware of the aids available for a VI student. When I started the course I had a good understanding of students with dyslexia and autism but knew nothing about VI. I particularly enjoyed the section on common eye conditions. My mother suffered a detached retina and I did not understand what that meant at the time but now I do. My son suffers from Astigmatism and short sightedness, and I had little understanding of these conditions. I really enjoyed the course as it was detailed and very interesting. I benefited from seeing all the examples of students at university and how well they were coping.

“This training is exceptional and very well detailed and laid out. It goes through each stage with great presentations that keep the viewer wanting more. The tutor who helped me was always there to support me whenever I needed and always offering the best advice possible.

“I enjoyed the videos, as they had lots of different practical ideas on how you can support students. I have identified some interventions or activities which I can use with my students, and so far they have worked well and the children have had a positive response to them.
