“I'm now much more aware of the difficulties and barriers to learning that deaf pupils face on a daily basis. Being more able to identify when pupil A is struggling or not engaged in learning means I can give support or an intervention when it's needed. Pupil A is beginning to show more confidence with learning and speaking which has produced success that she very clearly enjoys!

“I absolutely love these training courses and get an awful lot out of them. I feel a lot more confident using smart goals and I really appreciate your support. I will use smart goals to support children to decrease levels of behaviour for them to recognise their feeling with specific, measurable, agreed, realistic time-based goals. Thank you for your help.

“It has given me more of an understanding of the obstacles that a deaf person can have and the responsibilities of caregivers to make sure they understand each person’s individual needs and not just put them in a box. To treat every deaf person as an individual. It’s also great to know the technology that we will hopefully be getting in the school to make his life easier.

“I think it has highlighted the need to take lots of small steps to ensure a pupil continues to make progress and evaluate our role/ interventions.
