We run a programme of six sessions each year that are designed to give an opportunity for teachers of the deaf to learn more about key topics. The meetings are all held on line and include a time to discuss with colleagues from across the country as well as with the presenter aspects of the topic that are pertinent to them and their caseload.
We had a very successful series of meetings in 2024 with many Teachers of the Deaf attending and sending positive feedback. They are often fully booked.
The presenters are drawn from Teachers of the Deaf, Education Audiologists, other charities supporting deaf children and their families and manufacturers
The topics last year included
- Cochlear implants Language Assessment’ Presented by: Helen Martin
- Talk for Writing with Deaf Children’
