Testimonials

The training course has been a stimulus for conversations with the teacher I work with and I have thought carefully about each of our children. Setting the goals and interventions was interesting: two I would automatically do and the third is a direct consequence of the training.

Teaching Assistant

Attachment and Trauma

I am inspired to use my training in the classroom.
This training has been very detailed and thorough in that it has given clear explanations on deafness. The information has been simple to understand. The course has given me a wider understanding of the different types of hearing aids and radio aids. I feel that with the knowledge I now have on deafness will help me in supporting deaf children and also be more aware of the types of hearing aids that children may use. Also, making simple but very important changes to day-to-day support and group teaching, such as, talking clearly and not too fast and not standing in front of the sunlight which will create a shadow and make lip reading very difficult.
This training has been useful for background information and encouraging my critical analysis of any support required for my VI pupil. It has been incredibly enlightening showing all the different aspects of needs and the correct support required. The demonstration of different subject classes was incredibly useful for tips on how to best to approach the resources, and the material on creating a safe environment was particularly informative. I now feel more confident with my knowledge of VI pupil's needs and the material, resources and support required to allow them the best possible chance to gain independence and achieve their goals.
