Testimonials
“As SENCO I have a clearer understanding of the process I would like us to use to identify, assess and support learners at risk of Dyslexia. As several other members of staff from our school are also doing the training there will be benefits that we've had the same input and same points of reference. It will take a while before I can comment on how the training has impacted outcomes.
“Overall, this training has given me the knowledge to have confidence in my role. Making assessments of pupils needs and progress. It has given me the confidence to work alongside staff/ lead and VI specialist teacher with the knowledge to join in conversations understanding and using the terminology as well as understanding.
“It has given me the ability to be able to assess pupils and give them the correct support. My tutor has been very supportive and helpful. Thank you.
“This training has helped me to see where deaf pupils may struggle. It has made me much more aware of how I can adapt the environment to better suit the needs of the pupil and has also given me a variety of ideas/tools with which can help pupils with these needs.
