Testimonials
“This has really raised my awareness of deaf students' needs and how to work with the student to meet them. We've been able to implement a range of steps in our teaching centre to make the rooms better in terms of cutting background noise and being friendlier learning environments for deaf students. We've also managed to get clear guidelines for our local exams staff so that they know which special measures they are expected to provide to accommodate deaf students. This is a big step forward for them as when initially approached the did not know they were expected to make accommodations at all.
Qualified Teacher
“The training has improved my knowledge of the many different types of VI that can affect children and their development. I have learned a great deal about techniques and resources that I can use to support children with VI and I hope to apply some of these skills in my work. I have also learned more about the challenges faced by children with VI and hope to help them overcome these.
