I feel like there should be more practical parts about how it can be managed on a day to day. Practical skills. I enjoy relating it to people's experiences but need hands on teaching that can be implemented.

The course was very informative however, I feel it would be better if it was more interactive. There was a lot of information given which is great. But sitting and being spoken to with no tasks or interactivity made it difficult to retain information for people like me who thrive on interactive learning

This training was quite educational, and I learned a lot today. I now understand some things about Learning Disabilities and autism that I wasn't aware of before.
