"This course is very suitable for people who are working with children with Autism."

"I like the way she makes it interesting from her own personal experiences with her own children. It confirms that what she does works as it has been tried and tested. I like the way in which she invites you to go further with everything."

"I learned to be conscious of why we are thinking things and how to perhaps communicate with ours more evenly and less stressfully"

"The eight area’s covered each had their own learning, from the use of the abc approach to grandma’s rule it is important to consider how our reaction to each situation can impact the child."

"The different ways that you can alter your teaching to cater for their difficulties. The fact that they are a child with down syndrome and not a down syndrome child -lovely! The verbal and memory difficulties and how to help them in class – found very interesting."

"The practical tips on helping a child with down syndrome, such as giving choice, being aware that their physical or health problems may be impacting on their ability to learn in the classroom."

"It gave a clear insight into all ages of a child with Down syndrome and the difficulties they may face along the way, I found the course very interesting."

"I loved how thoroughly Jennifer addressed each sensory issue and strategies to help teachers support these children in the classroom. I particularly liked part 3 where Jennifer discussed and gave examples of a number of visuals that would work in the classroom also. This is very beneficial to me as a primary school teacher."

"I liked the ideas strategies and scenarios explained. I will try to incorporate these in the Early Years"

"I feel that i can use my new knowledge in the classroom and for my own self-growth."

"It was very clear and helpful. I learned a lot from it."

"I never thought of it in the way it was presented in this talk."

"I learned about choosing something that interest them to base the social story on, also the importance of positivity & not setting the child up to fail"

"I learned that behaviour is just an action- observation is key."

"I liked how the instructor broke the course down into different sections. She was very clear and her simple explanations were very easy to follow. She used personal experiences which are very relatable. Her synopsis was very well structured and detailed."

"I never realised something pretty obvious: the need of teaching the body parts in order for the children to communicate effectively where it hurts."

"I really enjoyed the course, I found it very informative and I will watch the videos again to get as much info to sink in as possible."

"Lisa really knows her stuff"

"I have learned loads. I have to minimise distractions. Keep my language simple, not have long sentences. smaller sentences in chunks. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Try and encourage turn-taking. Use visual clues."

"I liked how real life situations were given rather than it being focused on hypotheticals."

"Having the tools to deal with stress is an important factor to becoming a successful educator and having a healthy life work balance."

"I learned that no one system, may be adequate and the technology may be used for different purposes"

"I really liked that there were videos to demonstrate how to use the different strategies. I find these very useful as for myself, I find it easier to learn when I am able to see exactly how the techniques are used."

"I got loads of ideas to work on expressive/receptive language in relation to expressing pain"

"Loved this course, especially the importance of teaching and of talking about pain and how it is presented."

"Being a primary school teacher, I have worked with a number of children with ASD throughout the years. However, as a result of this course I feel I have a much better understanding of children with ASD. I learned many new strategies and supports that can be set up in my classroom to help support."

"I liked the section which explained the visual aids required to make emotional regulation a success."

"Thank you for a very informative course. It was concise, to the point and very clear. I found the instructor particularly easy to listen to."

"I really liked every aspect of this course and feel that I can take a lot of information away from it."

"I loved the way it was presented and so clearly explained, also how she said to use phrases like sometimes/ I will try etc, it gives the child the understanding that they will not always get it right nor are they expected too."

I love that I can have all my staff able to access the same training regardless of role – and great value for my school’s money

"Easy to listen to. Makes you think about how much overthinking you can do"

"It is important to allow the child to express their emotions but that you should give them strategies to cope with these big emotions"

"It will definitely help me with my work as an SNA. Thank you"
