Testimonials

“I believe that this course and other from yourselves that are built for education can only benefit myself and the school and also play a pivotal part in helping any children that needs help, I think the course work was well thought out especially in the current climate knowing that you can still receive help via zoom or teams. I also now that any children can and will benefit from qualified staff being able to support them through their school time, I just wish that more help like testing was free so more children could be helped.

Parent/Carer

Multi-Sensory Impairment

“I thoroughly enjoyed the training. It did give me extra confidence in identifying the dyslexia traits and cater for our pupils' needs. I found the resources and the videos in particular very useful. It was great to hear the parents' and children's views. The tutors were very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. They responded promptly to any question.

Senior Leader

“As a DSA specialist mentor, it will give me the confidence to ensure that the VI specialist assessor's needs assessment is implemented to the full at the university. Also, that I can discuss any emerging needs of the student and we can work out a plan to meet them.
