“The training gave me the information and time to explore and develop my own knowledge whilst also thinking about the school I work in. It gave me time to reflect on school policy and procedures as well as my own role and development. The information was clear and user friendly. I think the target sections were very useful in making sure the knowledge I have gained will have an impact on the school and my own development. I have led some training for support staff and we have also looked at the resources we are currently in school. We have also spoken more about mental health between staff and these conversations seem to happen more freely.

“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.

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