“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.

“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.

“This training has taught me how to support deaf learners in numerous ways. For example, giving them more time to process the tasks and their responses to my questions. I feel confident when working with a deaf child, I will ensure they have the best opportunities to develop both educationally and socially.

“It has made me much more aware of wellbeing and mental health and specific challenges as well as the impact of different conditions and situations. I feel much more confident in supporting children within our school as well as developing CPD for the staff for us all to move forward in this crucial area. It has been very thought provoking for myself as a teacher but also as a parent and it has had a positive impact on my classroom practice. I am also more confident to plan and implement interventions and know that it is useful to have all the information on this course to refer back to. I have really enjoyed this course. Thank you for your support.
