Testimonials
“A very timely course after the current lock-down. Supporting Social/emotional mental health & well-being of children in Primary is one of my strengths and reading from up to date & relevant sources was very helpful. Forum questions & statements enabled space to think through issues, rather than just reading through resources. Setting goals shaped my classroom practice, embedding knowledge into practice.
“I have been able to use a lot of information on dealing with my deaf student and his abilities, arranged for time out and quiet time, as I have understood the background noise issue and now appreciate how hard it can be. I have recommended this website to two friends who I used to work with, who are now in Primary schools and have put forward suggestions from this course, even something as simple as where to seat the learner. Thank you for extending the course for me, I am so pleased I was able to complete it.
Teaching Assistant
“This training has helped me to see where deaf pupils may struggle. It has made me much more aware of how I can adapt the environment to better suit the needs of the pupil and has also given me a variety of ideas/tools with which can help pupils with these needs.
