Hear from our community

“This training has increased my knowledge and understanding of deafness. In particular, I have learned a lot about the causes of hearing loss and the forms of communication and types of hearing aids that deaf students may use. I found the section on interventions really useful as it helped me to understand how best to support the student that I work with.

“This course has helped me understand a lot more about deafness and what to expect and how to achieve things.

“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.

“A very timely course after the current lock-down. Supporting Social/emotional mental health & well-being of children in Primary is one of my strengths and reading from up to date & relevant sources was very helpful. Forum questions & statements enabled space to think through issues, rather than just reading through resources. Setting goals shaped my classroom practice, embedding knowledge into practice.
