“I am confident that I now possess the information and knowledge to have a positive impact on the learning of deaf children.

“Toward the end of my training, I was able to implement but more importantly understand the meaning of Dyslexia and the struggles that a pupil may face whilst at school. Basic things like copying off a whiteboard or remembering a list of instructions to complete classwork. This understanding definitely helped me to support my student/students in one-to-one sessions as well as just recognizing the challenges that they would be facing in a larger class setting, which helped me to come alongside the student and support them in the way that they need. e.g repeating the instructions by simplifying them down to one at a time or writing it down for the student. I realized quickly that the principles learned could be used with any student in the class too. A simple thing like not being organized for the lesson with the right stationery or books was not always a fault of their own. I am really glad that I was able to do this course and I look forward to passing on the little knowledge that I have retained and encouraging the school to look into this more.

“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.

“I have better understanding on how the classroom needs setting up and why you set it up for the child. I now understand what resources I will need for the child to grow and flourish through his school life Also, I am able to talk about visual impairment more confidently.
