The aim of this programme is to equip participants with the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary to becoming a specialist in the education of deaf children and young people in a variety of educational contexts (ie special schools, units with mainstream settings and peripatetic support services). The programme focuses on the notion of linguistic access and encourages teachers to ensure that various means are available for pupils to access the curriculum and assessment in their preferred language.
Learning Outcomes
This programme will enable participants to:
* develop critical knowledge and understanding of the differing constructions of deafness;
* interpret audiological information and assess the provision of audiological support to the deaf child;
* critically reflect on the nature, use and potential of signed and spoken language in deaf education and on strategies to facilitate linguistic access to curriculum and assessment;
* develop knowledge, skills and attitudes in collaborative work with colleagues, other professionals, parents and deaf children/young people themselves.
