@rejadam@DCAL_UCL@MaireadMacS@indiebeedie@DrFionaKyle @Haah The aim of the first sentence is to convey that many deaf children (by no means all) find learning to read challenging. This is key to why we study factors that may relate to variability in deaf children’s reading - to develop a picture of how to support reading acquisition.
Come and join our team! Applications are open for the 2021 round of PhD studentships @mrccbu@Cambridge_Uni. Anyone interested in doing a PhD on #development in children who are #deaf or who have #hearingloss please contact me!
