“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.

“The case studies were particularly useful as they gave a good insight into the learning the deaf children were making, using the relevant strategies. It was interesting to see their viewpoints too. I have taken away some of these strategies and have implemented them in my class where I can.

“I absolutely love these training courses and get an awful lot out of them. I feel a lot more confident using smart goals and I really appreciate your support. I will use smart goals to support children to decrease levels of behaviour for them to recognise their feeling with specific, measurable, agreed, realistic time-based goals. Thank you for your help.

“This training has given me a more in-depth knowledge and understanding of VI, the causes and effectives of sight loss. Thus, it has helped me in my confidence and strategies in working with a young VI child.
