Testimonials
“This course has helped me work with a child in my class it has helped me communicate with him and helped him communicate with me.
“This training has certainly given me a more in depth understanding of deafness and how this can impact on an individuals learning and communication as well as the support out there for children when starting in educational settings. I am certainly more mindful of my positioning when working with deaf children, such as not sitting in front of a window, which has resulted in the child remaining more focused on me.
“I now can understand more about how deaf children are affected especially within a classroom. I now feel that I can use my skills from this course to benefit them, for example I know where they should be sat and I know the interventions that I can put in place to help them.
“To plan my next steps (with an individual or a group) To help give effect on their academic achievements . . .. .t has given me the opportunity to evaluate progress against the outcomes. To develop intervention programmes to suit a childs needs.
