“The training has helped me revise my knowledge and understanding of ASC and developed my awareness of appropriate interventions. Exploring SMART goals reminded me of the small steps often required to help students achieve and improved my confidence to discuss these with schools.

“Due to the current covid conditions, rules and regulations I have not been able to put things into physical practice. However, I am very happy with how the course has gone, what it has taught me and am confident I will be able to put together some good interventions to helps those children who need our help.

“Really enjoyed this course and believe it has helped me to support deaf pupils. I have only been in this role for 6 months however this course has helped me gain better understanding and improved my practice within the classroom. A shame we couldn't meet face to face during COVID. Thank you for your support.

“On starting this course, I had little knowledge of visual impairments and although we do have students with a VI, I have not been directly involved with their support. I now feel I have a much better understanding of the complexities and range of conditions that affect a person's sight as well as how young people have overcome barriers to go on and achieve. I will be researching two particular eye conditions which relate to students at our college. I will also be reading their EHCPs and support needs. Both of these actions will improve the support I could give should I be required to work with those students. I will look at how we adapt lessons to make them more inclusive for students with a visual impairment and be mindful of the social interaction difficulties that are particular to a VI student. Lastly, the importance of promoting independence and seeing how this can best be achieved or improved has been highlighted by completing this course.
