There are things you can do to make life a bit easier for deaf/hard of hearing people who rely on lipreading. These small things can mean a lot to someone and can make a huge difference.⁠
#LipreadingAwarenessWeek

[Deaf Umbrella @DeafUmbrella]

#Lipreading is challenging skill that takes a lot of energy and concentration. When you read lips, only about 30% of speech can actually be seen on the lips. The rest is inferred from context, movements of the jaw, cheeks, neck, and the expression of the eyes.⁠

#ListeningFatigue affects people who have to concentrate hard for a long periods of time on signing, listening or lipreading. ⁠Their brain becomes overstimulated causing stress and finally fatigue. Learn how to deal with it: https://t.co/4lGweUl0Em

[National Deaf Children's Society @NDCS_UK]

Year after year, deaf children are still achieving an entire grade less at GCSE.

This disparity is further proof that our education system consistently fails them and without targeted investment in Teachers of the Deaf, nothing will change.
