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.

Deafness

There are many strategies and pieces of knowledge that I will take away from the course and apply to my role as SENCO.
Before this course I had little to no understanding of deafness and the impacts it has on children and adults. However, after completing the course, I now feel very confident when it comes to identifying the needs of a deaf child and can implement appropriate strategies in order to support them in different areas of needs and in different environments. The different case studies have given me a good understanding of the feelings and views of deaf individuals and have expressed the importance of including those within planning and reflective activities.

Face to face session to follow soon, first session was induction related. The training was very helpful for me to identify how I can support school staff in implementing strategies I mention more effectively in the classroom.
