"Rose`s training is greatly appreciated by our staff and volunteers. She teaches in a lively and stimulating way, using
humour and personal experience to make the information memorable. Her knowledge of issues relating to learning
disabilities is considerable and she has the empathy to match this knowledge to the requirements of her students. Rose`s
commitment to people with learning disabilities and her understanding of their needs make her a particularly effective
trainer. Her touch is light, but the message comes across clearly. Each training session leaves us with new insights."
