    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.

The certification is very beneficial as I carry out my responsibilities for the kids with varying cognitive needs and other developmental issues. With the training I’ve received from the IBCCES, I am confident my students here will continue to receive high-quality support services that acknowledge their unique abilities and see their potential become a reality.
