Course Outline

Our Deaf Awareness courses aim to raise your awareness of different types of hearing loss and provide you with communication tactics and best practice when dealing with D/deaf colleagues, customers and clients.

This 2-hour webinar is a shorter version of our standard Deaf Awareness courses, designed for online delivery. It is perfect as a staff training and development option. Content includes:

  • differences in communication needs according to a person’s type of deafness
  • British Sign Language vs English
  • differences between hearing and deaf cultures
  • technological aids and equipment
  • communication support, note-taking and interpreting services
  • communication skills
  • simple ways you can improve your service
