  Hi Georgina! I am also a primary school teacher and I have also just started tutoring a boy with complex medical needs and GDD who uses BSL to support his speech. I think it would be great for all children to learn basic BSL to ensure all children are able to learn in an inclusive environment 😊

  I am learning BSL as I have a student where I work who communicates this way and felt that it would be good to learn so I am able to communicate better with them and potentially other students too.

  Hi everyone, I am Lynda, I am new to this course and have only been learning a few months. I work in a special school and felt I wanted to learn BSL so that I can better communicate with students.
