I could only join in a bit late (had my Covid vaccination that morning), but I'm so grateful that besides AFS there are many other diagnostic tools I hadn't been aware of. Many, many thanks for the great info and your dedication despite the heat! Warm regards, Elke Driftmeier
I'm very happy with the program. I could learn everything in peace from home and submit it. Online I was always informed about my progress. I got thorough materials and it was clear and transparent to work with. Now I'm integrated into the school and lots of children benefit from it. I'm proud to be a dyscalculia trainer. Warm regards, Larissa Lezin
A very solid supplement to my comprehensive pedagogical background and a very well-organized, professionally created distance program with interesting topics, especially designed for practical use. The framework — advice, guidance, info, digital options, and so on — is also excellent. I work closely with primary schools on learning support with children from socially disadvantaged areas, and I often work with kids who have dyslexia or LRS and need didactic guidance and support. I can put a lot of the content and your practical and digital resources to good use in my work. Thanks again! Keep it up!
I was very satisfied with the course. It is well organized and well structured. Theory and practice are well connected. I appreciated being able to extend it. That way you can complete the program even with a full-time job and a family without time pressure. I was able to acquire a lot of new knowledge and apply it regularly in practice.
As a German and English teacher I have been running LRS support courses for over 6 years. Thanks to the program I have the necessary tools to advise and support parents and children and to encourage them so much! Many colleagues who, just 6 years ago, used to say things like: "The child can't read or write at all. What can you do? It's a matter of intelligence...!" ...would never say that today! So I've offered many training days for colleagues in the interest of children with LRS and conducted many counseling conversations. I've also explained the legal framework in teacher conferences and discussed the support options at school along with their possibilities and limits. Your distance program is excellently organized! I'm still trying to motivate someone to complete the dyscalculia course. There's great need here too, but unfortunately there are no formal accommodations for it. Still, pedagogically and didactically we can do a lot in this area too. Supporting students with LRS has become a heartfelt mission for me, and thanks to your program and the support of my principal I've been able to make a real difference! My colleagues are also grateful that this area is being taken so seriously!!! Nobody would call a dyslexic child "cognitively weak" anymore!! And every child with a spelling or learning difficulty is taken seriously with their problem! Unfortunately we need even more teaching staff to meet everyone's needs! But we're sticking with it and constantly trying to optimize our work! I find the continuing education offerings very helpful! Especially on the topic of "reading fluency"! The fact that basic skills are often missing when students enter secondary school — that over 40 percent (and rising) cannot read fluently or still wobble at the alphabetic stage — forces us to take special measures! Because of the pandemic we'll face a major challenge again in the coming school year! I'd really like to organize parent workshops and lectures on the topic in the future so that parents get more support. Sadly, financial resources for outside-of-school expert tutoring are often missing! In this the many materials in the shop, the training offerings, and the wonderful games children can play online for free really support me. For English I'd love more free online games, since from grade 7 onwards English is the much bigger problem for dyslexic children! I could go into many more details, but I think I've made clear how grateful I am for the course, because it lets me help so many children, teens, parents, and colleagues! Warm regards, K. Jura
I'm a special education teacher and I completed the dyslexia program and the follow-up dyscalculia program. The support and guidance were excellent. Whenever questions came up during the program, the chat always gave fast help. I really enjoyed it. The content has enriched my professional life too.
Good program, especially during Covid for learning online and from home. Contact was always smooth and a reply came within a few hours. All materials are extensive, the modules are available for download and are additionally sent by post. The subscription package includes many other useful games as well as various trainings and other extras.
This distance learning program fits our times beautifully. Not only because of Covid restrictions, but especially because of how easy it is to combine with work and family. The modules are very clearly designed and the timeframe is very realistic. The fact that you can start practical work halfway through the program helps enormously with later career orientation. With the children I worked with during the program I already saw clear improvements. I can wholeheartedly recommend this course.
I get wonderful, very friendly support. Here you get almost a "worry-free total package." Many thanks and keep it up, K. Heidloff
Competent and comprehensive transmission of foundational and specialist knowledge.
I've already completed the certification as a certified dyslexia and dyscalculia trainer. Thanks to the comprehensive learning materials and the training hours, I was able to build up a wealth of both theoretical and practical knowledge. The support is also impeccable. All staff are consistently very friendly and handle requests promptly. Thank you for everything. I'll definitely recommend you on.
Excellent courses! You get top support and are always backed up.
outstanding collaboration
I've been a customer of ADA since 2008 and have been very satisfied with all the offerings the whole time. They always respond to the current needs of trainers, parents, and children, and right now they also provide a great range (remote diagnostics/training, etc.) for the current crisis. So keep it up! Warm regards, Rena Steinhauer
I completed the training with ADA 6 years ago and apply what I learned in practice every single day.
I'm glad I completed this course. Very good and extensive material. It ultimately convinced me and prepared me very well for working with people affected later on.
After almost 2.5 years I was able to submit my documents just before Christmas. Everything was reviewed right away and I received my certificates as proof. During the program I always got quick answers to questions by email. I really enjoyed it and now I'm looking forward to using my knowledge in my work as a primary school teacher!
I find the training extremely valuable and enriching — especially in the pedagogical field your personal perspective really shifts. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you warmly for the great support during my studies and for the polished preparation of the study materials. Working with the association after the program is also very pleasant.
Thanks for the wonderful support throughout the whole course. With competent help, perfectly prepared literature and scripts, well-structured exams, and a flexible study model, I was able to complete both courses with excellent results, lots of joy, and fun in training — despite two jobs, two kids, and two lockdowns. Even after finishing I feel perfectly supported by ADA in everything. Thank you!
Perfect... the organization, the support, the study material, and the ongoing care as a graduate with discounts, materials, a complete promo package... Thank you!
