Testimonials
“This course has given me more knowledge and understanding of working with pupils with deaf pupils.
“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!
“I have learned a great deal on how to support a pupil with VI and have been able to use this information in practice, e.g. new knowledge on additional low impact visual aids which I have now implemented for use in class to support Pupil X. I am more aware in how to meet the needs of the pupil and feel more confident in my day-to-day practice. I also found the case studies particularly informative and useful - these gave me a greater understanding of the needs of a VI pupil and how to meet them.
“I will be more confident in the classroom implementing strategies for SLCN and to help them access the learning even more. I would like to be able to come back to this to remind myself of different ways of learning as well as different techniques to continue with.
