What Our Participants Say
“The course was very helpful and the resources were excellent too. Just what I needed to support my students.“
“As an old OT who is new to the paeds world, I had very little idea how I was going to provide support with emotional regulation. I now have some confidence in providing input in ths area.“
“I currently work with 3 ASD students in my classroom and doing this course has given me so many ideas. I take these three students out every day and we have started a emotions book. So many things i will be printing off and using in their books. Thank you for an awesome course“
“I am a Psychologist with 20 years experience and found your course was incredibly helpful, full of common sense and easy to follow suggestions that actually work and make a significant difference in the lives of children, families and professionals who work with kids with ASD.“
“I have a very complex class which contains many children who find self regulation difficult. This has given me ideas to use for children to recognise emotions in themselves and in each other. I now have many activities to teach emotions and self regulation with the whole class.“
“This course has really helped me work out what I should implement with the children who are dysregulated. Sue has given me some excellent tips and strategies.“
“Yes It’s given me a very clear insight into how I can help the kids with ASD in my Art room. Love the ideas of all the visuals and cards and the advice to keep calm.”
“It’s helped me with some practical ideas, not only for individual children, but many that can be used and will be very helpful for the whole class.“
“I believe that of all the many courses I have done over 43 years in teaching, that your courses, and those of Tony Atwood, are always the most practical, usable and transferable from one situation to another and to help other young teachers to enhance the methods they have learned but have had few opportunities to use in practice. This excites them and gives this old teacher a very warm heart.
The emotional regulation course was very quickly used to help several children in different classes to both self regulate when anxious, and lead other children in those classes, to learn skills of kind, if not always quite appropriate responses, when their classmates behave in an unexpected way.
We have several assessed ASD children and others who struggle to feel they are a part of the social community around them. I am very glad to have support and further learning from you to use everyday.
I am not only grateful that my centre is inclusive of older staff members but I can stay up to date with all the fabulous research being done to give our children the very best start to their learning life.”
