Testimonials

“I have learned so much from this training. I feel confident in supporting and understanding the subject. We have a child in our class that is really benefiting from some of the strategies that have been implemented due to this training.

Teaching Assistant

Attachment and Trauma

“I cannot really say too much about the impact yet due to Covid but I feel more confident to spot and deal with issues and create mini interventions for the children to improve their behaviour. Thank you.

Teaching Assistant

Understanding and Supporting Behaviour

“Personally the training has given me a greater understanding and recognition of children who have motor coordination difficulties and what they face. When you know what they (and the parents) are facing it gives you a better basis on how to help them and ensure a more positive outcome. The training has also helped in the various strategies that can be implemented within the school setting. The notes are something I can refer to which is also a great help. I have found this training very interesting and informative.

Teaching Assistant

Dyspraxia and Motor Coordination Difficulties

“It's given me a more in-depth knowledge of deafness and lots of ways to support a deaf student in school. The tips and strategies to use have been invaluable.
