I now have a wealth of ideas to put into place with pupils. I had not heard of the jump ahead programme, So I will look into that in more detail to see if it can be introduced.
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.

Teaching Assistant

Deafness

I enjoyed the course and added to my knowledge of deafness that I already had. What I have learnt I will try and pass onto classes that have deaf pupils. I will also let other staff know that I have done this course and if I can help them in any way I will.

Qualified Teacher

Deafness

I have shifted my focus on building and nurturing a positive relationship with each student and repairing and restoring relationships after a conflict or problem has arisen. It has also made me think about the clear steps I need to take in order to change a certain behaviour of an autistic pupil.
