“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 course has helped me work with a child in my class it has helped me communicate with him and helped him communicate with me.

“It has made me think more about how as a team in the class we could help individual pupils progress.

“The training has enabled me to have the confidence to see the signs of a child who may have ASD and to pursue any action that will be required to help the children, to be in contact with the SENCO leader and any outside agency's.
