Testimonials

I am confident that I now possess the information and knowledge to have a positive impact on the learning of deaf children.

Other Position

Deafness

Because deafness is invisible, it is difficult to understand just how much it can affect a child’s day-to-day life and lifelong potential. However, it is accepted that deaf children are at educational risk. Parents, teachers, audiologists and other professionals should work together with the child, to understand the hearing loss and to advocate for their listening needs. This training provides information and resources about how deafness can impact listening, learning as well as the possible social impact of deafness. Thank you.

Teaching Assistant

Deafness

This training has been very detailed and thorough in that it has given clear explanations on deafness. The information has been simple to understand. The course has given me a wider understanding of the different types of hearing aids and radio aids. I feel that with the knowledge I now have on deafness will help me in supporting deaf children and also be more aware of the types of hearing aids that children may use. Also, making simple but very important changes to day-to-day support and group teaching, such as, talking clearly and not too fast and not standing in front of the sunlight which will create a shadow and make lip reading very difficult.
This course has helped me understand a lot more about deafness and what to expect and how to achieve things.
