“This training has taught me how to support deaf learners in numerous ways. For example, giving them more time to process the tasks and their responses to my questions. I feel confident when working with a deaf child, I will ensure they have the best opportunities to develop both educationally and socially.

“The training has improved my knowledge of the many different types of VI that can affect children and their development. I have learned a great deal about techniques and resources that I can use to support children with VI and I hope to apply some of these skills in my work. I have also learned more about the challenges faced by children with VI and hope to help them overcome these.

“This course has reinforced my strong belief that good mental health & well-being is key to everybody in society. When we have the tools to be able to help & support both others and ourselves, we can be equipped to look at strategies to offer support and guidance in times of need.

“A child I am working with regarding attendance at school - this course has made me realise that the behaviours he shows all have meanings behind them. I will definitely change my approach with this child and apply some of the strategies I have gained on the course.
