Testimonials

“This training has helped me understand the learning needs of some of the children I work with and has helped me tailor some of my interventions, especially with regard to instructions and managing their own goals and how to keep them motivated.

Qualified Teacher

Dyslexia and Significant Difficulties in Reading

“As a number of staff have completed the training it can be used as a discussion point when planning as a team to meet the needs of our pupils. This will ensure a broader impact across the school. Understanding attachment disorders makes you consider a more individual approach to supporting children - one size doesn't fit all!

Senior Leader

Attachment and Trauma

“This training has helped me to gain a deeper understanding of how to support the children in my class better, once school returns to normal, I will put into practice what I have learned.

Qualified Teacher

“Talking in person to my tutor was most helpful, as it was easier to discuss different techniques.
