“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.

“Although I am an experienced TA, it was nice to still learn new strategies and listen to others experiences without being judged. I can’t wait to get back into school to practise and show the new confidence I have gained. It's also great to know that the course resources will still be available for a while so I can give myself a quick reminder when schools return! Thank you!!

“The Dyslexia training has given me an in depth and better understanding of a recognised learning difference, and I feel that when it is used in practice with students showing sign of dyslexic tendencies, the outcome can be a positive one. Using the strategies and resources mentioned throughout the course, it gives a clear idea of the different ways a student can be supported, and achieve their potential despite having a learning difference.

“It’s given me a greater understanding in multi-sensory impairment and will have an impact on the way I support learners in the future.
