Testimonials

"Thank you for yesterday's visit - it was lovely to see your setting and how you manage such complex needs in a calm and organised way. It was very helpful to see the layout and resources you have in place. We have had some good discussions today about the ideas we can implement into our classrooms. The PowerPoint will be very helpful for sharing with the wider staff."

St. Peter's Primary School, Chippenham following an in-reach visit.

"The training was excellent- well targeted and exactly what was needed. We would certainly consider more training from you as it was very well received and people were involved and really willing to try new things."

Greentrees Primary School, Salisbury, following twilight training

"Canon’s House would like to thank The Springfields Academy for providing us with a recent training session on the Theories of Autism. Our team found the training to be insightful, informative and enjoyable and the trainers knowledgeable, passionate and clearly dedicated to celebrating autism as a difference not a disability.

We would highly recommend this training to any organisation looking to better inform themselves around the theories of Autism and develop an understanding of how to implement supportive strategies, for children and young people with Autism to fulfil their full potential."

Canon's House, Devizes, following staff training

"I was very impressed by your wonderful school and the clear impact that everyone’s hard work has had on providing a personalised education that enables all students to achieve positive outcomes and left with lots of ideas"
