Testimonies

  • I just wanted to email you to say thank you for the courses I attended. I attended the Autism, ADHD, and Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia one and I fully enjoyed all of them. The courses gave me a great deal of knowledge that I have already been using in my classes. I've told other teachers at my centre about the courses you offer and I've encouraged them to do them if you put them on again. Thank you so much for everything! Katie Bourne
