“I wanted a programme with
an international reputation,
highly qualified and expert
lecturers, and course content
that was applicable to my
daily work with my clients –
the Tizard Centre met all
of these expectations. The
content offered a broad
perspective on the life
journey of an individual
with developmental
disabilities and the
accompanying issues
of providing adequate
services across that lifespan.”
