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
#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.
Our Year 6 Open Evening is fast approaching on Tuesday 20th September from 6:00pm to 8:30pm. You are invited to come and meet our staff and students on Dove campus and see first hand what contributed to our best ever GCSE and A Level results this year.
An absolutely superb morning! We are incredibly proud of our students! These results are amazing and show how much hard work has gone into them. Well done!!!
#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
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.
