Testimonials

“It has given me additional resources and considerations as to how we respond to mental health in the academy. I feel more confident that our approach is on the right lines and know how to escalate concerns that we might have. It has also allowed me to explore how we can become more proactive in our response.

Senior Leader

“It’s given me a greater understanding in multi-sensory impairment and will have an impact on the way I support learners in the future.

Teaching Assistant

Multi-Sensory Impairment

“This training has supported my understanding of deafness and the resources required for them.

Qualified Teacher

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

Qualified Teacher

“It has given me a wider understanding of what Dyslexia is all about and just how much else it covers other than just reading and writing. I have picked up a lot of great ideas for interventions, tools, games and advice from other attendees to take forward into my workplace.

Qualified Teacher

Dyslexia and Significant Difficulties in Reading

“I thought the last video was very clear and this gave more knowledge of how a person with ASD felt from his young years to reaching adulthood. With this knowledge I feel more confident in understanding how a child may react to certain secondary classroom /subjects. this will give me the confidence to implement appropriate strategies when supporting students with ASD.

Teaching Assistant

“This training has increased my knowledge and understanding of deafness. In particular, I have learned a lot about the causes of hearing loss and the forms of communication and types of hearing aids that deaf students may use. I found the section on interventions really useful as it helped me to understand how best to support the student that I work with.

Teaching Assistant

“This training has, for me, cemented the fact that mental health and wellbeing can be nurtured and cared for in school settings. If children feel safe, valued and supported within their educational setting, then hopefully they will grow into young adults who feel like they have purpose and value in our world.
