“I have learned a great deal on how to support a pupil with VI and have been able to use this information in practice, e.g. new knowledge on additional low impact visual aids which I have now implemented for use in class to support Pupil X. I am more aware in how to meet the needs of the pupil and feel more confident in my day-to-day practice. I also found the case studies particularly informative and useful - these gave me a greater understanding of the needs of a VI pupil and how to meet them.

“This training has, for me, cemented the fact that mental health and wellbeing can be nurtured and cared for in school settings. If children feel safe, valued and supported within their educational setting, then hopefully they will grow into young adults who feel like they have purpose and value in our world.

“This course has helped me understand a lot more about deafness and what to expect and how to achieve things.

“Listening and learning from the wonderful learners describing how they feel, how they see, how they learn has been invaluable. Making small changes to enable our learners to have the same opportunity to succeed as their peers. Understanding what we can do as educators to best support our learners with Autism. Understanding it's the environment and communication that needs to be tweaked - reasonable adjustments need to be put into place to enable same access to same information just delivered in a different way. Thinking about how you can teach through visual communication rather than too much talk. This has been a great training tool and I am super pleased I have been able to access. Thank you.
