Testimonials

“This has really given an insight into ways to assist the VI child in our setting so that they can become more independent both in and out of school. There were lots of tips and advice within the useful videos that have been put into practice straight away. Unfortunately, the Covid pandemic has disrupted the face-to-face sessions as normally there would have been more and we could, as a collective, learned more from each other and discussed our ongoing learning. I have enjoyed this course, gained a lot from it and would recommend it.

Senior Leader

Vision Impairment

“I will now look to break down targets.

Qualified Teacher

Speech, Language and Communication Needs

“This training is exceptional and very well detailed and laid out. It goes through each stage with great presentations that keep the viewer wanting more. The tutor who helped me was always there to support me whenever I needed and always offering the best advice possible.

Other Position

Attachment and Trauma

“This training has been very detailed and thorough in that it has given clear explanations on deafness. The information has been simple to understand. The course has given me a wider understanding of the different types of hearing aids and radio aids. I feel that with the knowledge I now have on deafness will help me in supporting deaf children and also be more aware of the types of hearing aids that children may use. Also, making simple but very important changes to day-to-day support and group teaching, such as, talking clearly and not too fast and not standing in front of the sunlight which will create a shadow and make lip reading very difficult.
