“I am more confident to try other ways of helping deaf children.

“The training has taught me about dyslexia and how it impacts on children's learning at school. For example, when supporting a student in French lessons, it became clear that he could not understand new words that were introduced. A strategy to help with this is to use a visual aid when learning new vocabulary, e.g. a picture of a glass of orange juice and the French word for this written below.

“Even though I have a deaf son, I was confident with hearing aids etc however it has helped me become more aware of the importance of how I can make the classroom a deaf friendly environment.

“This course is very user-friendly, informative and thought provoking. My tutor has been very supportive and helpful with feedback. This training will have a very positive impact on outcomes. It has helped me further understand the barriers and implications of sensory impairment, its effects on learning and how we can help students overcome these problems and achieve their potential. Many thanks.
