We’re here for every deaf child who needs us – no matter what their level or type of deafness or how they communicate.

Deaf children can do anything other children can do, given the right support from the start.

Deafness isn't a learning disability, and with the right support, there's no reason why deaf children and young people can't achieve as much as their hearing peers.

It’s vital that deaf children get the right support as early as possible to develop the language and communication skills that are critical to their future.

Effective language and communication skills lie at the heart of deaf children and young people’s social, emotional and intellectual development.

98% of delegates rated our training 'excellent' or 'good' in spring 2018.

Modules we offer

We have developed 4 new eLearning modules for professionals.

Working with deaf children and young people

This module will clearly identify the different types of deafness and the impact it has on deaf children and young people. You'll understand the different types of communication used, and be able to suggest different types of technology to support deaf children and young people.

Deaf-friendly activities

By the end of this module, you'll know what simple adaptations need to be made to activities or services to be deaf-friendly and inclusive. You'll be able to identify the different types of communications used amongst deaf children and young people. You should ideally have already taken the ‘working with deaf children and young people’ module before you complete this module.

What is eLearning?

E-Learning modules are one option for distance learning available anywhere at any time. Each one of our modules takes around 1 hour to complete, although you are welcome to work at your own pace at a time that suits you. We use the latest technology to provide learners with an range of interactive learning methods while providing instant access to additional resources and services. You’ll have access to each module for 30 days from when you have first signed up. The modules will develop your knowledge and skill set to support deaf children and young people. 

To access the modules you’ll need a reliable internet connection. Some of the learning activities do have sound, however, it is optional whether you wish to use it or not.

Once you have completed your module you will receive a certificate. To successfully receive your certificate you must complete the learning module, along with the pre and post survey and quiz.
