Online SEND and Teacher CPD courses

“I have improved my understanding of ASD and what difficulties children with autism may have. This has helped me to identify the difference between ASD and other disorders. Moreover, learnt that often children can have ASD and Dyslexia or ASD and ADHD and others. Furthermore, I have learnt many strategies to improve my interventions. This has helped me to set my goals to support my student. I have also learnt the importance of the collaborative partnership between the parents and the school.

“I am currently working with two children who suffer with severe anxiety, this course has enabled me to build on existing skills and strategies I have in place. Improving my classroom/ teaching practice. A valuable course, thank you.

“Through this training I have gained a far greater understanding of the deaf child in a mainstream school, the importance of inclusion throughout the whole school as well as changes necessary for the deaf child within the classroom environment. I am looking forward to putting my studies to good use within school very soon.

“I really enjoyed the course and it has given me a better understanding of working with a deaf child in an education setting and has given me the tools to be able to enhance the pupils experience and has enabled me to be able to provide the best resources to give the pupil access to the same as her peers.

“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.

“I now can understand more about how deaf children are affected especially within a classroom. I now feel that I can use my skills from this course to benefit them, for example I know where they should be sat and I know the interventions that I can put in place to help them.

“This training as made me more confident in identifying the pupils difficulties and the impact this can have on their everyday life. Setting SMART targets has made me realise how important it is to be very clear with expected outcomes and how these can be measured.

“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.
