Learning Language through Play
Deafness is a hidden disability where deaf children and young people frequently experience social isolation, reduced communication and low esteem. Families often find it hard to know how to help their child and enable them to reach their potential.
Our work increases independence, self-esteem and confidence in deaf children. We gather feedback to measure our outcomes. Comments about workshops include ' gave us all a positive experience', 'great fun!', 'good to see deaf role models'.
This project enables a range of people and particularly families, to learn child-friendly sign language for communicating with children. read more
