How will you use what you have learned today?
In my work with in-service
teachers and teachers currently in initial teacher education - to raise awareness
of pupils with dual sensory impairment.
Inform HI staff of all the data and use ideas in my own work place.
Look more carefully at diagnosis therefore improving learning outcomes
for individual pupils.
Learning of the different syndromes this morning and working with Deafblind
this afternoon.
I will use this knowledge when visiting and working with pupils who have
complex needs or Dual Sensory Impairment.
Discuss with team and use tips in daily practice with young people.
I will be able to use some of the communication/assessment ideas with a
couple of pupils in my case load.
I will share knowledge gained with other colleagues within the school I
work at, and try to apply some of the ideas shared within class.
I will be more aware of underlying, complex needs that a child may have
and be aware that various tests etc need to be carried out before there is
a diagnosis.
Lots of ideas for me to use with a 4 year old with complex needs and severely
brain damaged - been at a bit of a loss up to now.
I will have better understanding of child's difficulties with certain
syndromes.
Reflect on current practice and modify! Discuss with colleagues.
Today has been very helpful for my personal knowledge and understanding.
Morning session encouraged me to continue to bring about change - city wide
in practice - for HI/VI children.

What was best about the course/event?
The practical recommendations
and case-studies addressed during the afternoon sessions.
The valuable, practical information given on all the relevant aspects of
teaching.
The presentations were both excellent - it's always helpful to network
with colleagues and share experience.
Good information about references and good examples and suggestions.
Afternoon was very interesting for me.
Videos and case note discussions.
Information about practical applications such as object reference, hand
and body signing. Video of children - very practical and useful to see.
Ideas for strategies on working with children which I look forward to trying
out. Also increased knowledge and understanding of whole area of complex needs.
Morning was more relevant to my teaching as I work with deaf.
Both presentations were excellent. Handouts very good. Ideas for developing
useful strategies. Jane reinforced strategies that could improve Deafblind
communications.
Very interesting speakers - knowledgeable and willing to share personal
experience.
What, if anything, could have been improved about the course?
Additional day/half
day to elaborate!
Even more information on practical ideas/application.
More time.
Any other comments regarding the course?
This course would also have been
very appropriate for TVIs - I would have taken Deaf out of the title.
More courses like this would inspire teachers to be more pro-active in
their approach!
Good facilities, good lunch. Appropriate length of presentations.
Very clear, with a range of information covering a wide range of issues.
Raised awareness of good publications and websites which would be useful.
Would like to focus on deaf Autism Course more deeply.
