Two new online learning courses to support deaf children in Early Years
=======================================================================

Language, Listening and Communication in the Early Years

There are more children being diagnosed and fitted with hearing aids earlier resulting in increased numbers of Early Years children requiring specialist support. Many settings find themselves wanting to support these children effectively and are actively looking at options for their own awareness development.

This course will give you an overview of what it is like to be deaf and how deafness can impact on listening, spoken and communication skills, as well as social development.
Cost: £35 + VAT (duration approx 1 hour)
