Testimonials

This course has helped me work with a child in my class it has helped me communicate with him and helped him communicate with me.

Advisory Teacher

Multi-Sensory Impairment

As my role is very similar to mentoring the impact has mainly been on how I would approach working with a VI student. E.g. greatly increased confidence in talking to VI students about their needs; increased awareness of the impact that VI can have on learning and development as a whole. This has also meant a more joined up approach to VI students that is inclusive and takes into account the implications of a social model of disability and the wider adjustments that should be made to allow VI students equal access.
It was interesting to think deeply about some of the more intricate details about behaviour needs. It made me evaluate my own practice and will most likely make some adaptions in future.
The training introduced me to a variety of visual impairments that I was not aware of. It also explained the different impact each condition might have on an individual, stating how it might differ between each person. I was able to identify new methods for assessment to determine what my students needs were and confidently write SMART goals and interventions to successfully implement these measures. My tutor was only an email away and was very responsive and supportive of my development. Thank you.
