Hear from our community

“This training has increased my knowledge and understanding of deafness. In particular, I have learned a lot about the causes of hearing loss and the forms of communication and types of hearing aids that deaf students may use. I found the section on interventions really useful as it helped me to understand how best to support the student that I work with.

“It has made me more considerate of the teaching environment being offered to children who may have a hearing loss as well as their other additional learning needs that I am supporting.eg factors affecting the acoustics of the environment, especially at the present time with Covid restrictions in place and learning sessions mainly being offered virtually.

“I cannot really say too much about the impact yet due to Covid but I feel more confident to spot and deal with issues and create mini interventions for the children to improve their behaviour. Thank you.

“This course has helped me work with a child in my class it has helped me communicate with him and helped him communicate with me.
