    Excellent information and knowledge

    Have learned alot about Down's syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21. It is usually associated with physical growth delays, mild to moderate intellectual disability, and characteristic facial features.Trisomy 21 means there’s an extra copy of chromosome 21 in every cell. This is the most common form of Down syndrome.

    What is Down's Syndrome

    This course pointed out that although Down' s is Syndrome is a genetical problem it is not the fault of the individual. They too can become very successful as any other person and also live independently as anyone else. It also tells us that they are also socially accepted and can lead their live s as anyone else. The course was well set out and informative.

    really helpful

    The presenter is really knowledgeable, with a can do attitude regarding helping people with DS to achieve their potential. It provides a great overview. It would be interesting to have some more specific guidelines , but as we are dealing with individuals, I suppose you have to take each case as it comes.

"First Class"

W Phillips

"Fabulous"

Not only am I a LSA in a Secondary School but a mum to a son who is going to Sixth Form. I love the way you approached this from all angles, from parents teachers, support staff and most importantly our young people too.

S Powers

"Thought provoking"

Great resources, which will be really useful with all students. It also highlights perhaps some areas that we may have forgotten about whilst being in our own bubbles at home or even as some of us have been working, it is easy to forget how it has been for others.

F Lewis

"Invaluable"

Invaluable course if you want to learn more about autism. Anxiety is something that they may suffer from everyday and we need to know the signs to help them before they are on empty. I will revisit this course again as it is full of useful information, hints and tips.

C Henderson

"Very thought provoking and excellent videos"

I really enjoyed this course, it was very thought provoking and there were lots of practical strategies to take away. I really enjoyed the video on autism and joy - very funny, moving and inspiring. The trainer covered a lot of different scenarios as well.

C Doyle

"Thought provokingly brilliant "

Even if you think you have it all under control, you haven't! This course is so informative and covers absolutely everything you have to think about ensuring the best possible return to the school community for everyone.

M Ramsey

"Fantastic SEND knowledge"

This has, by far been the best bite size CPD I have done in a long time. Sharing knowledge and encouragement a good practice model - thank you!

  • We know you are not given enough training to support all the student’s needs in your class.
  • We understand parents because we are parents of autistic children and children with other additional needs.
  • We understand our students because some of us are autistic and some of us have ADHD.
  • We understand what our students are going through because we make our first priority to listen to them, giving them the communication tools they need to be able to tell us what school and being autistic is like for them.
