“This training has been very beneficial for myself as someone who has recently started working at a special school and I have no experience of working with children with MSI. I can now take what I have learnt and improve my own practice.

“I will be more confident in the classroom implementing strategies for SLCN and to help them access the learning even more. I would like to be able to come back to this to remind myself of different ways of learning as well as different techniques to continue with.

“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.

“It has given more ways and new ideas on how to help deaf students. It has shown how to keep them as inclusive as possible which is good for their mental health and self-esteem. Which can be very much affected if not, it can make them feel very alone. I know a child who was like this when he was moved to another school away from his friends, luckily he has settled now.
