What was best about the course/event?
Content and discussions.
Some of the practical ideas and the research highlighted.
Use the practical advice and further reading to meet the children's needs on my caseload.
Good information and plenty to follow up on.
Discussion with other professionals.
Look at 'whole' picture - devise school/home resources.
Discussion and information.
My eyes were opened on the range of different syndromes that have deafness as a symptom.
Lots of information, links to further resources and opportunity to meet others and discuss ideas and share.
Shared discussion and expertise. Broad view of complex needs.
Focussing on additional support needs (ASN).
Discussion and listening to colleagues from different settings.
The sign-posting to further information.
What, if anything, could have been improved about the course?
More practical information, e.g. activities, games used with HI children with additional needs.
More specific to profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), but I feel that would be asking a lot. Good work on signifiers though, which was very relevant to me.
Coffee break - travelling a long way from very early, so useful to have 10 minute break and boost concentration.
More room away from source of building noise. Provide microphone for guest speaker.
