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  everyone, this is my first post on the forum.  I work as part of the Front of House Team in a theatre and I am interested in learning some sign language to be able to communicate more easily with the many members of the deaf community who come to the theatre. So far I am doing ok in the comfort of my own home but under pressure I get flustered.  Does anyone else find the same problem? I think a lot is down to constant repetition and practice.  
    • Hello everyone 🙂 I'm Layne. I am about to take my BSL202 and BSL203 at the start of next week 😬 I luckily passed BSL201 last week 😌 I am based in India so it is tricky to find people to practice with. If anyone is up super early in the UK and looking for someone to converse with I am 5.5 hours ahead so will be around! Thank you 🙏

    • Hi, I’m Vivien. I started learning BSL as my son was hard of hearing and wanted to support him to communicate. I’m also looking to understand and support the deaf community and looking forward to learning more!
