Our staff have been continuing to develop new skills to support our students communication in a session called ‘Introduction to Understanding & Supporting Communication’. Today a group of our teaching assistants took part in training which included looking at some new strategies and resources we are developing and beginning to use with individuals to support both their understanding and their expression. It was fantastic to hear what staff are already doing in classes and also what they were hoping to take back and try with some of the pupils. Again all the staff involved were really positive about the course and full of enthusiasm about how to implement this training.
