"Our therapist obviously puts a lot of thought and effort into each of [NAME]'s sessions, very creative to get the best out of him."

"I enjoyed the group interaction. Moving between theory and practical Lamh signs has helped me to concentrate for the entirety of the day.”

CATTS Ireland were good and helpful hosts.
Great course. Need more interdisciplinary type courses in Ireland!

Found Marijke very enjoyable as a teacher. Made the course a lot more intereting and easier to learn.

“I liked the positive interaction between the tutor & learners.”

I liked the structure of the class. Marijke made the class fun and enjoyable to learn the different signs.

I learned more ways to create communication opportunities.

A Super Day! A wealth of knowledge. Loved the detail and attention to accuracy. Thank you.

I liked the way nobody was singled out. The signs were demonstrated as a group.

I learned 100 signs to go away and teach my autistic child.

I learned how to think about how it might feel to not be able to communicate. I learned not only about the signs but also how to associate them with other things to remember them. I also learned how to 'teach' the signs in an effective way with the kids.

I liked Marijke. You made the course interesting and fun.

“I’ve learned 100 Lamh signs. I’ve learned ways to use them and importance of repetition. I’ve enjoyed Marijke’s energetic method of teaching.”

"Nice people, good understanding with asd kids."

Thought the tutor (Marijke) was excellent. Really easy to listen to, so easy to learn from. Made the day fun. Kept you focused.

I learned a lot of new signs and that it's possible to learn a lot of signs in a relatively short space of time.

CATTS is an excellent service providing life skills through OT and Speech and Language which is highly needed for children with special needs.

Very well organised event. - Looking forward to the next CATTS CPD event. Thank you!

CATTS are very flexible. My child loves coming and my child understands the speech therapist's instructions, which is very important to me.

I liked the multiple steps in learning signs - helped memory.

Great few days. Very professionally done and all needs tended to and anticipated

I learned lots of new signs. Can't wait to learn more.

“I liked learning sign language so it can help me communicate with my cousin and each other.”

Good cooperation with parents to help special needs kids. Excellent Speech therapy support for kids with ASD.

"My thanks to you and Marijke for the excellent staff and responsive service that you have provided in CATTS."

The energy and humour of the presenter helps me remember. Marijke delivered it very well and made it very informative and enjoyable! 🙂

“I enjoyed the games, these were practical and helped consolidate our learning and helped us to retain the new signs.”

I learned over 100 signs which will make it a lot easier to communicate with my child.

Marijke made it very easy to learn and very entertaining! ?

Really enjoyed the course, excellent information & presenter.

"Marijke made the day very funny and interesting."

"Very interesting. Benefits us especially while working with kids - learned so many things I never knew e.g. DVD, and apps"

I liked your enthuasian and how personable and approachable you are. So much was covered and I liked how you were willng to show us lots of other sign.

Efficient, excellent communication and follow up post classes, excellent advice for further at hone progress.

The day was fun! Marijke made it fun and easy to learn. Really enjoying. Good craic.

I learned a lot of new Lamh signs

“What did I like: being able to communicate with Lamh user. Brilliant course. Would recommend it to other people.”

Overall Satisfaction: 96%
Value for Money: 92%

Lovely facilities, nice class size. Amazing that only 3 rows back, it felt small and intimate.

Marijke was excellent - brilliant tutor.

I think the best thing about CATTS is the professional service. The therapists are very skilled and it is of huge benefit to my child.

Great Content. Well organised.
All members of the CATTS team were friendly and helpful. They were always providing much needed information.

I liked that the day was active ad no one was put on the spot!

"Am so happy with speech therapy. She knows how to encourage my son to attempt to say words. He wouldn't have even tried for other therapists. (Therapist) has a fantastic way with him. And out of all the speech therapists we've attended over the years, both public and private, this has been the best by far. Highly recommend. Only annoyed we didn't know about it before. We would have taken him years ago."

[NAME] settled well. He found it hard first time but after a few sessions he got used to being there and started to work well. He makes more sounds now and is copying the words after us.

I learned how I can use signs to help children communicate on a one to one basis or in a group to encourage social and language skills in an informal way.
Learned more than I thought I would at one sitting!

The energy of the course and how it was taught. Great information that will stay in my brain!

"I enjoyed doing the signs and activity. I think that this will help me in the future with being a special needs assistant"

[NAME] is very happy and is progressing. My son has built a lot of confidence since starting therapy, our family & friends really see a difference in his abilities.

“I’ve enjoyed learning everything about Lamh, including watching videos, doing games and working in group. It was very interesting.”

With the rollout of Progressing Disabilities its so important to build awareness on family centred practice. Thank you for bringing this and other courses to Ireland.

"Catts Ireland is providing a superb vital service for children"

I learned how to put Lamh into the school setting where I work. How to plan and create situations where I can use it.

Thoroughly enjoyed the class. Marijke makes learning fun!

Really Great Event. Well done CATTS 🙂

I liked Marijke as a Lamh tutor. She was extremely engaging and personable. I like how it was fun during the lesson.

“What I liked: Use of videos as well as slides. The variety of signs taught. Relaxed atmosphere – had a laugh while learning signs.”

I liked the structure of the day. The associations Marijke used helped me to remember the signs. I also like that the games reinforced the signs. Plus the sweets as rewards!

"This is a great service, he really looks forward to the therapy sessions."

I learned a lot more than I expected to! thank you .

"Great anecdotes helped me associate the words with the sign."

This was a fun, interactive course. Marijke was very good, and patient, friendly and funny.

“I thought the course was made very interesting because it was informal and amusing at times. I was surprised at how the Lamh signs stuck in my mind.”

I enjoyed the interaction and the humour!

I liked the enthusiasm of the presenter. It was really interactive, clear and well paced.

“I thought it was very well presented. Not only was it about Lamh sign; it was about communication.”

I liked the way the 100 words were split out throughout the day. Not information overload. Very enjoyable - the day flew!

The CATTS team were so friendly and enthusiastic. We all felt really well looked after.

"Very helpful when we asked questions - she didn't hesitate to answer anything we asked"

I learned a lot of signs I didn't know and how to teach them to my brother. I'll finally be able to have a proper conversation with him.

CATTS really know how to attract great speakers. Really professionally run event. Felt very well looked after.

"I learned how important it is to communicate. I hope it will make life happier for the service users.”

"Loved the training style. Very enjoyable day."

I liked the way the tutor presented the class. It enabled me to learn in a relaxed way. Her coverage was fantastic. I would attend another class hosted by her.

I learned so many new signs and lots of different ways to approach kids to create conversation opportunities.

"Since starting speech therapy my daughters speech has improved considerably. Her language skills and comprehension have also seen a huge improvement. She is more confident and thrives on the positive feedback about her progress. I love that the program is designed to meet her needs and grows with her."
