Testimonials

“I have a good understanding of strategies that will support the children in my whole class with good practise teaching skills.

Teaching Assistant

Dyslexia and Significant Difficulties in Reading

“This training has been useful for background information and encouraging my critical analysis of any support required for my VI pupil. It has been incredibly enlightening showing all the different aspects of needs and the correct support required. The demonstration of different subject classes was incredibly useful for tips on how to best to approach the resources, and the material on creating a safe environment was particularly informative. I now feel more confident with my knowledge of VI pupil's needs and the material, resources and support required to allow them the best possible chance to gain independence and achieve their goals.
