Praxis-SpLD-CPD

Having assessed 5 pupils over this unusual 'lockdown' summer holidays, 3 of which had tricky profiles, I decided I needed to refresh my training in this area and to get some reassurance that it wasn't just me doing it wrong!! I loved the way this course was designed so that I could dip in and out when I had a couple of hours to spare here and there. The website is very cleverly designed to lead you through each stage, and I loved the fact that it had been recorded in chunks, which weren't too long (my short attention span in normal training courses thanks you for that!). Sally-Ann has a really engaging voice and tone, so was easy to listen to, and I really valued that she shared personal experiences of cases she's come across. The only thing I would have liked is some additional discussion around auditory processing disorder, as I've recently has a girl who I thought might have had that issue. Other than that, it was really helpful - thank you!

Thank you Sally-Ann, for another wonderful course. I really enjoy your presentation style and find the courses easy to listen to and follow. I have some key learning points that I will use for my onward progression in assessing. Sally-Ann's courses should be recommended activities for all newly qualified assessors - they are invaluable.

This is the third CPD training with Praxis and Sally-Ann - they have all been fantastic - so informative and so helpful especially as I am a trainee assessor! Has highlighted key areas in the process and what to look for at every stage. A must for any assessor!

Another great course from Praxis. This course covers those 'What about when...?' questions and uses real student profiles to help illustrate how not everyone fits into a box.

No hesitation in recommending. It really helps to know that what you are experiencing is quite normal and gives you confidence in what you are doing.

An essential course for new assessors to develop confidence and consider other issues that can affect profiles. I found it particularly useful to learn of other issues that could affect an assessment results, as well as useful wording for the reports. Sally is as engaging and comprehensive as ever.

Thank you, Sally-Ann. I've been glued to your courses this last week; you make learning real and personable. I will definitely recommend to others feeling apprehensive about testing.

Excellent course, wonderful presenter & enjoyed the flexibility that you can complete when suits you. It’s reassuring to know that what you are doing is correct & a real confidence boost. Thank you Sally Ann!

Easy to follow, useful up to date advice. Lots of ideas shared! So helpful - will be back.

I thoroughly recommend completing this course. A well-presented and informative training course that will definitely improve my assessing.

Sally-Annes training style is so relaxed yet she manages to deliver a huge amount of content! The course has given me good reminders on how to link between tests and scores and some invaluable insights into looking for and explaining some of those tricky profiles. Guidance on wording was also very well received! Thank you so much. I’d definitely recommend.
