Seashell

Let's stay in touch! Parents and carers may already get regular updates from school and college, but did you know you can also sign up to Seashell's newsletter too? The newsletter is where we share student stories, tell you about our site transformation project and give advice on how you can get involved with fundraising. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/d2xGVS_J

We're not overstating it when we say our staff and volunteers change lives. As Brandon Leigh points out, often students arrive at crisis point...and leave with a promising future. That's all thanks to the expertise and hard work of everyone at Seashell. Celebrating the impact we have had is important to us, which is why we've released our new Impact Report.

This weekend, we were delighted to see the launch of our new Mandatory Qualification of Multi-Sensory Impairment Post Graduate Diploma (MQ MSI PGDip), and welcome the next generation of Qualified Teachers of MSI to our campus. 💙 Excitement was in the air as our class of 2024 met each other for the first time! Check out what they got up to...👀 We are one of just two providers delivering this specialist course in the UK. This is welcome news for the Sensory Impairment (SI) sector and for MSI especially, as it will give more opportunities for MSI learners, their families and naturally, the professionals working with them. We are proud to have this course validated by Liverpool John Moores University. Big shout out to Caireen Sutherland and Michelle Jones for all your hard work in the preparation and delivery of this incredible course!

Did you know it's AAC Awareness Month? AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication - tools that help our students with their speech, or offer an alternative to speech. Examples include sign language, pictures and symbols, gestures and electronic communication devices. We'd love you to read our blog all about it: https://lnkd.in/eQ-Bkjw6
