Testimonials
“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.
“Because deafness is invisible, it is difficult to understand just how much it can affect a child’s day-to-day life and lifelong potential. However, it is accepted that deaf children are at educational risk. Parents, teachers, audiologists and other professionals should work together with the child, to understand the hearing loss and to advocate for their listening needs. This training provides information and resources about how deafness can impact listening, learning as well as the possible social impact of deafness. Thank you.
“Firstly, would like to say thank you for this course. learning different strategies & good teaching practice to help in classroom for those children who have learning difficulties. Great knowledge!
“This has been difficult to assess as we have not been in school for any length of time due to COVID however when asked to assess a student with anxiety associated with attachment it helped me to review the student and suggest strategies that may help.
