“The training introduced me to a variety of visual impairments that I was not aware of. It also explained the different impact each condition might have on an individual, stating how it might differ between each person. I was able to identify new methods for assessment to determine what my students needs were and confidently write SMART goals and interventions to successfully implement these measures. My tutor was only an email away and was very responsive and supportive of my development. Thank you.

“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.

“It was interesting to think deeply about some of the more intricate details about behaviour needs. It made me evaluate my own practice and will most likely make some adaptions in future.

“I am now implementing some of the practical ideas given in this course on a day to day basis and these are not only benefitting the dyslexic boy in my class but also others who may need help processing information. This has been a great course.
