I recently completed my Diploma in Special Educational Needs (SEND) at FIT Institute, and it has been an incredible learning experience. I started my sessions in July and completed Oct 1st week— every unit has been eye-opening and deeply impactful. A special mention and heartfelt thanks to Dr. Anita Chopra, who has been an outstanding educator and mentor. Her knowledge, clarity, and passion for teaching are truly inspiring. She explains every concept in such a simple and practical way that learning becomes meaningful and enjoyable. Dr. Anita’s warmth, patience, and real-life examples helped me connect theory to practice and inspired me to grow as a more confident and empathetic educator. I also want to appreciate Ms. Maryam for her constant support, timely communication, and for sharing recordings and presentations after each class — that made revision so much easier! The course materials, PPTs, and videos were excellent and relevant to the real classroom environment. I’ve learned so much about understanding and supporting children with diverse learning needs. Thank you, FIT Institute, Dr. Anita Chopra, and Ms. Maryam for making this diploma such a wonderful and enriching journey.
