“I really enjoyed the course and it has given me a better understanding of working with a deaf child in an education setting and has given me the tools to be able to enhance the pupils experience and has enabled me to be able to provide the best resources to give the pupil access to the same as her peers.

“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.

“This training has really made me think about my own setting and how we can use ideas that are shown to be beneficial for other children.

“Before I did this course I only had a very basic knowledge of deafness. I do not currently work with deaf students but I maybe working with one next year so the information contained within this course will help me to support the student.
