Testimonials
“The training has helped me revise my knowledge and understanding of ASC and developed my awareness of appropriate interventions. Exploring SMART goals reminded me of the small steps often required to help students achieve and improved my confidence to discuss these with schools.
“I am more confident to try other ways of helping deaf children.
“Before this course I had little to no understanding of deafness and the impacts it has on children and adults. However, after completing the course, I now feel very confident when it comes to identifying the needs of a deaf child and can implement appropriate strategies in order to support them in different areas of needs and in different environments. The different case studies have given me a good understanding of the feelings and views of deaf individuals and have expressed the importance of including those within planning and reflective activities.
“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.
