“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.

“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.

“Personally the training has given me a greater understanding and recognition of children who have motor coordination difficulties and what they face. When you know what they (and the parents) are facing it gives you a better basis on how to help them and ensure a more positive outcome. The training has also helped in the various strategies that can be implemented within the school setting. The notes are something I can refer to which is also a great help. I have found this training very interesting and informative.

“I think this training has given me a very good insight of how to effectively support children with ASD and meet their needs. In class I feel like I am picking up on a lot more ASD traits in students as well which also helps me to support in the classroom.
