    Lau Anna Siu Fun, Licensed LEGO®-based Therapy Trainer, CAS

    IBCCES training helps me understand more in-depth the child’s needs and what challenges they face. Also the teaching flowchart from my training help to remind me of what to do before giving instructions. This is an effective tool in the teaching and learning process. I implement this with all the children I meet before any instruction is given.

    As I strive to expand my knowledge and expertise to work with individual with cognitive disorders, the IBCCES credential provided tons of insight to move forward in my career and as an advocate for all the students I work with.
    The training also opened my mind to wider perspectives on how to deliver a better quality of teaching instructions to my students.. It gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation of the challenges these students face having to deal with their inabilities to access relevant and accurate information and comprehend tasks and the basic skills they need to develop to help overcome the challenges they face.
