Group of people
I think this training has given me a very good insight of how to effectively support children with ASD and meet their needs. In class I feel like I am picking up on a lot more ASD traits in students as well which also helps me to support in the classroom.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

It has given me a wider understanding of what Dyslexia is all about and just how much else it covers other than just reading and writing. I have picked up a lot of great ideas for interventions, tools, games and advice from other attendees to take forward into my workplace.

Dyslexia

I believe that this course and other from yourselves that are built for education can only benefit myself and the school and also play a pivotal part in helping any children that needs help, I think the course work was well thought out especially in the current climate knowing that you can still receive help via zoom or teams. I also now that any children can and will benefit from qualified staff being able to support them through their school time, I just wish that more help like testing was free so more children could be helped.

Dyslexia

The training course has been a stimulus for conversations with the teacher I work with and I have thought carefully about each of our children. Setting the goals and interventions was interesting: two I would automatically do and the third is a direct consequence of the training.

Attachment and Trauma

Before this course I had little to no understanding of hearing impairments and the impacts it has on children and adults. However, after completing the course, I now feel very confident when it comes to identifying the needs of a hearing impaired child and can implement appropriate strategies in order to support them in different areas of needs and in different environments. The different case studies have given me a good understanding of the feelings and views of individuals with a hearing impairment and have expressed the importance of including those within planning and reflective activities.

Deafness (Hearing Impairment)

The main thing I have taken from this course, among many others, is how to be very focused and specific in the setting of targets and interventions. I have realised I had a tendency to be quite broad in my outcomes - simply saying a child will learn a new sound - and didn't break the targets down in the necessary components. My tutor has been invaluable in helping me with this and it will definitely have a positive impact on both my teaching and my target setting for my TA.
My 'view' of Dyslexia has completely changed. I am keen to make changes in my school, along with the SENCo. and possibly obtain Dyslexia friendly school status at some point in the future.

This training has given me a more in-depth knowledge and understanding of VI, the causes and effectives of sight loss. Thus, it has helped me in my confidence and strategies in working with a young VI child.
