“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.

“This course is very user-friendly, informative and thought provoking. My tutor has been very supportive and helpful with feedback. This training will have a very positive impact on outcomes. It has helped me further understand the barriers and implications of sensory impairment, its effects on learning and how we can help students overcome these problems and achieve their potential. Many thanks.

“It has made me more confident [about] how to support deaf children.

“The training gave me the information and time to explore and develop my own knowledge whilst also thinking about the school I work in. It gave me time to reflect on school policy and procedures as well as my own role and development. The information was clear and user friendly. I think the target sections were very useful in making sure the knowledge I have gained will have an impact on the school and my own development. I have led some training for support staff and we have also looked at the resources we are currently in school. We have also spoken more about mental health between staff and these conversations seem to happen more freely.
