“I really enjoyed hearing from deaf learners in the various videos. It helped me to understand what it was like to live in society with hearing loss. I am definitely more confident on how to support my current deaf learner and any future kiddies that I may meet. I have really enjoyed getting to know my learner this year - his attitude towards education and life has been an eye-opener to me. I've also enjoyed building a relationship with his mom and our external support teachers. I am happy to have completed this course - it was well worth it. Thank you.

“The Dyslexia training has given me an in depth and better understanding of a recognised learning difference, and I feel that when it is used in practice with students showing sign of dyslexic tendencies, the outcome can be a positive one. Using the strategies and resources mentioned throughout the course, it gives a clear idea of the different ways a student can be supported, and achieve their potential despite having a learning difference.

“My 'view' of Dyslexia has completely changed. I am keen to make changes in my school, along with the SENCo. and possibly obtain Dyslexia friendly school status at some point in the future.
Other Position
“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.
