Testimonials
“This training has been very beneficial for myself as someone who has recently started working at a special school and I have no experience of working with children with MSI. I can now take what I have learnt and improve my own practice.
“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
“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.

“The course has given me the confidence to apply for new jobs and discuss the knowledge I have gained during the interview process.
