“It has provided me with strategies to implement and given me cause to think on how I can improve the way I deal with negative behaviours

“This training has helped me to see where pupils with a hearing impairment 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.

“It's given me a more in-depth knowledge of different hearing impairments and lots of ways to support a hearing impaired student in school. The tips and strategies to use have been invaluable.

“This course has enabled me to specifically consider how to support older children with dyslexia and looking at best practise. I was able to consider tools for personal organisation and working memory as this was not something I had previously fully understood as a difficulty linked to dyslexia. I have a clearer understanding of SMART targets and will be delivering some training in school for this. I hope and will encourage all teaching staff to enrol on this course!
Teaching Assistant
“I think this course was useful for me as I am working with an autistic pupil this year. It will help me to understand her needs better and to use appropriate techniques to support her on her way to success
Teaching Assistant
“I feel more confident in my ability to understand the needs of the students I work with and to provide the best possible outcome for their learning

“This HI course has been very useful to complete. I have limited experience teaching pupils with a HI, but it highlighted the gaps in my knowledge and has given me a range of useful, practical tools to use in my teaching. I now feel a lot more confident in teaching my pupil with a HI. I also now have a new understanding of how the learning environment will have a direct impact on the pupil. I have enjoyed learning about the reasons for hearing loss and it has explained aspects of the human auditory system that I knew little about. It has been very useful to set SMART targets and look at how I can improve my teaching practice which will result in a positive outcome for my pupil. I have also enjoyed reading my colleagues comments in the forums and can relate what they have said to my own teaching. I recommend this course to any member of teaching or support staff working with pupils with a hearing loss.
