My name is Jamie and I’ve been a Teacher for 10 ish years and I’m really hoping to make a transition into becoming a Teacher of the Deaf. From an early age my son had communication difficulties and it wasn’t until he was 3 and a bit that we got help from a local ToD who gave him a BCHA and ALD. As a family, and with the help of his Nursery we have learnt some makaton but as he got older we developed this into BSL. He’s starting ‘big’ school in September  so developing his language and his ability to communicate is something we want to Encourage, especially if he doesn’t have his BCHA working. Really looking forward to seeing where this course and life can take me now that I’m learning more about the community and language.

    • Hi there! I'm Laila and I've just started a beginners course in BSL. I work in a nursery as a senco and one to one currently but hoping to move on to a different job role in a special school or a school setting. I've been fascinated by BSL for years now and I've finally decided to take the leap and start a course so here we are! I am already level 1, 2, 3 and soon to be level 4 trained in makaton in the new year but ive always loved watching people use BSL and even though I'm not deaf i still plan on signing as i speak to myself to ensure i dont forget any of it and i just find it fun to do anyway! I am a little suspicious of my hearing anyway as it isnt the best and i do have moments where i lose hearing in one of my ears for a few minutes at a time the longest being an hour and sometimes in both ears together so I'm looking into that but im so excited to finally be a BSL user and join this community
