There are millions of deaf and disabled people in the world, yet they often face challenges linked to communication barriers and stigmatisation. Deaf and disability awareness means becoming more aware of these challenges and working to be a more inclusive society where the whole community can thrive and contribute fully.
By becoming deaf and disability aware, we promote equality, as it acknowledges the rights of deaf people to access information, education, and services without discrimination.
Who benefits from Deaf and Disability Awareness?
Literally everyone! Everyone will benefit as the barriers and challenges start to reduce. Deaf and disabled colleagues, family and friends of deaf and disabled people, education providers, colleagues, and service providers. We can all work together to promote equality and make everyone feel more comfortable and confident with communication, regardless of their level of hearing.
Our deaf awareness course is a training course aimed at increasing your knowledge and understanding of deaf awareness. During the session, you will learn:
- Facts and Figures
- Legislation
- The Models of Disability
- Types of deafness
- Hearing equipment
- Communication Methods
- Gaining Attention
- Some BSL!
This course is ideal for individuals, groups of friends, workplaces and community organisations.
This bespoke course can be tailored to your individual needs and include specialist training for your workplace.
