Will you do anything differently as a result of today's training?

Reflect on my support in particular choices for receptive and expressive language.
Share the information with the rest of my team and staff.
Yes (3), I will certainly ensure there is a plan for a 'way out', look into the need for consideration of executive function ... so much else too!
Much better informed.
I will be more confident in explaining why I am working with a child in a particular way.
Yes, I have a much better understanding of CHARGE and sensory issues to help me to respond more effectively to children's strengths and needs.
Look at what the child I work with is doing and think about what could be behind it more. Also explore transitions and sensory.
Share the information with the staff team in our collegiate time, do some further reading on CHARGE and explore Gail's website in more detail. I will also make use of the strategies table.
Try some strategies with a pupil.
Yes, and pass on some of this learning to colleagues.
I will try to implement the strategies I have learnt from this training.

What was best about the course/event?

The extent of the information Gail gave us.
The wealth of information and experience that Gail clearly has.
Gail's enthusiasm and interest is clear. Having first hand experiences and being able to share that with us was invaluable.
Gail's presentation and experiences.
The information, really invaluable.
Excellent examples given of children presenter has worked with which will stick in memory.
Lots of information delivered in a clear accesible way.
Extremely knowledgeable presenter who convey the information very well with helpful illustrations from real life experiences with individuals with CHARGE.
Gail linking it to case work.
So much useful information!
Strategies.
Very informative from Gail's first hand experience and research.
Learned so much about CHARGE syndrome.

What, if anything, could have been improved about the course?

More time.
Handouts prior to annotate.
Nothing.(3) It was really good. Less issues this time with processing information, thank you.
Just a bit longer than my attention span I had to walk about in middle to stay focussed.
I'm looking forward to viewing the recording and looking at the handouts to deepen my knowledge - a lot was fitted into the time, but I wouldn't want to change that.
It was excellent. Thanks.

Technical Feedback

How would you rate the webinar technology? 4.5/5

Any comments on the technical aspects:

I think SSC have really developed their skills in organising and delivering these webinars over the pandemic - they are very well managed and work well technically. I have been really impressed and love these sessions, the way it is organised so questions are posted and covered at the end is great. Meeting rules help stop interruptions from those with camera or mic left one.
Very good.
