Testimonials

“This training has been so helpful and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. It has helped me gain a better understanding of deafness and hearing aids etc and it has made me want to learn even more. Thank you!

“The training has given me a deeper understanding of the difficulties that students with VI face. I have been able to support my student by enlarging worksheets and using visual clues and timetables, which have contributed to raising his self-esteem and feeling of achievement.

“The training has improved my knowledge of the many different types of VI that can affect children and their development. I have learned a great deal about techniques and resources that I can use to support children with VI and I hope to apply some of these skills in my work. I have also learned more about the challenges faced by children with VI and hope to help them overcome these.

“I feel I've the experience and knowledge to see when a child has dyslexic tendencies but this course has given me support and better understanding. I can see that I've been moving in the right direction but have a better idea of strategies and ideas to implement in the classroom.

“Before I took this training, I have no confidence to identify correctly the students with behaviour difficulties. This training gave me knowledge about how to understand the behaviours and how to support the students with difficult behaviours. Not only for the students, but this course also gave me knowledge about how to be a supportive teacher, how to handle the class (class management knowledge). The tutor I met was very patient too. When we had a face-to-face sessions, he gave very effective suggestions and was so helpful for my overall learning.

“I have vividly become confident in identifying and supporting children with speech language and communication needs.

“This course has given me a greater understanding and awareness of deafness and how better to support the children that I work with.

“I now have a wealth of ideas to put into place with pupils. I had not heard of the jump ahead programme, So I will look into that in more detail to see if it can be introduced.
