Sue Gurney-Legg – Outreach Evaluations Comments:

Most useful aspects:

  • The resources provided as well as in class support
  • The practical classroom reorganisation and manual dexterity suggestions
  • Arranging visits to Mountjoy, these sessions have really helped us move forward with s and his family
  • An independent point of view to help us assess how effective our provision is and how we can improve it further
  • Having a practising teacher advise rather than a consultant is great.
  • Ideas to use visuals and seeing examples, visit to Mountjoy and assessment ideas
