“It helps you to focus on meeting each individual child's needs and requirements to access learning.

“This course has reinforced my strong belief that good mental health & well-being is key to everybody in society. When we have the tools to be able to help & support both others and ourselves, we can be equipped to look at strategies to offer support and guidance in times of need.

“I have learned a great deal on how to support a pupil with VI and have been able to use this information in practice, e.g. new knowledge on additional low impact visual aids which I have now implemented for use in class to support Pupil X. I am more aware in how to meet the needs of the pupil and feel more confident in my day-to-day practice. I also found the case studies particularly informative and useful - these gave me a greater understanding of the needs of a VI pupil and how to meet them.

“This course has enabled me to specifically consider how to support older children with dyslexia and looking at best practise. I was able to consider tools for personal organisation and working memory as this was not something I had previously fully understood as a difficulty linked to dyslexia. I have a clearer understanding of SMART targets and will be delivering some training in school for this. I hope and will encourage all teaching staff to enrol on this course!
