- Visual communication tools that can be adapted to your setting
Feedback from attendees at other training delivered by Three Sisters Consultancy
Fantastic session. This should be offered to as many people as possible. Corrie was brilliant at delivering the course and her knowledge is amazing!
I have a better understanding of how the children are feeling and see the world. I feel more confident to support this with variety of strategies.
This session was incredibly helpful and informative. It provided real-life examples and explained the topics in-depth. The delivery was excellent and totally accessible and focused on ensuring our understanding of the topic. Overall, an incredible session.
