“This course has definitely improved my understanding of autistic spectrum disorder. I am applying all my new knowledge in my role as a SEND Assistant. This course has developed my understanding of meet the needs of the children I work with, the appropriate assessment tools to use and effective strategies that can be used. I really appreciate the opportunity to have taken part in this course.

“I enjoyed the course and added to my knowledge of deafness that I already had. What I have learnt I will try and pass onto classes that have deaf pupils. I will also let other staff know that I have done this course and if I can help them in any way I will.

“This training has provided me with a much greater insight into how to help children with visual impairment. I have learnt a great deal about the science behind different visual impairments and have developed a great number of strategies for helping VI children, which I will continue to implement. I found the second face-to-face (Teams) session very useful for how to set appropriate, and achievable, SMART goals.

“I cannot really say too much about the impact yet due to Covid but I feel more confident to spot and deal with issues and create mini interventions for the children to improve their behaviour. Thank you.
