What our customers say
“Seashell Trust provided our College with an excellent day of bespoke training on Autism for Sensory Learners. The trainers were very responsive to the needs of our staff and did a great job of fulfilling the brief and exceeding our expectations. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them for future events and would highly recommend Seashell Trust”
“I think you got a really good feel for what our school is about and that reflects in the report and suggestions made. Thank you again. I think this will help support the young person’s communication and understanding in class and at home”
“I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic training. The feedback has been incredibly positive with people telling me how impressed they were by the amount of information they felt they were presented with and how it’s encouraged them to develop new perspectives on the needs of specific students they work with. I personally took loads of information away with me. Many thanks for all of your time and efforts. It was a brilliant session”
“I will be more confident now and will be able to talk to young people with autism more effectively”, “Really interesting. My awareness of autism and what it is has definitely improved. I feel that my patience has increased by loads as I have an understanding of what I can be doing to support the young person”. “I understand on a more 1:1 level how to speak and set up a visual and written schedule and how autistic people look at people and the world”. “Social stories are new to me and will be good to use in my workplace”. “I have learnt more about the complex variations of ASD and coping mechanisms”. “Has got me thinking about what we currently do to support and what we need to be doing”.
"The workshop was informative and speaker very clear”. “Really enjoyed it and found the information well presented”. “Explained in easy manner”. “Very easy to follow and understand”
“Completing the autism qualification (OCN introductory awareness of autism spectrum conditions) was of great benefit to my working practice. It covered areas that I had some basic understanding in and I learnt some new things. Most importantly, it encouraged me to reflect upon my working practice with our students with ASC and to think about how they experience situations and how I could best support them. The course was delivered at a good pace and we were offered plenty of time and support with the assignments. It helped that the tutor worked with people with autism daily as he was able to give us examples and ideas and completely understand our roles.” (Louise Banks, LSA)
