“It is helpful to get a different perspective for college.

“This training has been useful for background information and encouraging my critical analysis of any support required for my VI pupil. It has been incredibly enlightening showing all the different aspects of needs and the correct support required. The demonstration of different subject classes was incredibly useful for tips on how to best to approach the resources, and the material on creating a safe environment was particularly informative. I now feel more confident with my knowledge of VI pupil's needs and the material, resources and support required to allow them the best possible chance to gain independence and achieve their goals.

“This training has, for me, cemented the fact that mental health and wellbeing can be nurtured and cared for in school settings. If children feel safe, valued and supported within their educational setting, then hopefully they will grow into young adults who feel like they have purpose and value in our world.

“This course has definitely improved my understanding of autistic spectrum disorder. I am applying all my new knowledge in my role as a SEND Assistant. This course has developed my understanding of meet the needs of the children I work with, the appropriate assessment tools to use and effective strategies that can be used. I really appreciate the opportunity to have taken part in this course.
