“Although I am an experienced TA, it was nice to still learn new strategies and listen to others experiences without being judged. I can’t wait to get back into school to practise and show the new confidence I have gained. It's also great to know that the course resources will still be available for a while so I can give myself a quick reminder when schools return! Thank you!!

“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.

“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.

“The case studies were particularly useful as they gave a good insight into the learning the deaf children were making, using the relevant strategies. It was interesting to see their viewpoints too. I have taken away some of these strategies and have implemented them in my class where I can.
