Hello I have recently started to learn some basic sign language.

My name is Val Watson, I am a learning support assistant in a secondary school.

In September we are expecting a child who uses sign language to join us.

 I may not be working with them, but at least I will be able to say hello etc... if I bump into them.

It makes the school a more welcoming place.

    • Just added a deaf pub in hartlebury to my website. they run on the 3rd monday of the month, if you view my website, dont forget to change the duration to at least a month to display this meetup.
    • Hi, ok, so the Goose hosts a D/deaf Pub, which appears to be a Thursday Evening (I'll put more info on my website when they approve my FB Joining). I highly recomment D/deaf Pubs and Clubs to attend, because you get to see BSL in the real world, where as other students will sign how the tutor has taught them and (in my case) not all tutors sign the same way, so real life experience can be a huge bonus. (check out the website, just added the goose deaf pub info at deaf.mymentalwellness.uk)
    • Hi. erm... so, the deaf.mymentalwellness.uk page, you dont have to log in for that, it should give you two buttons, pressing the deaf pub / resources will take you to deaf.mymentalwellness.uk/events.php This is up and running, I have 30 venues listed, adding more when I get time. The bsl.mymentalwellness.uk page, im having to put in security measures for that page. This one you will have to log in, so the system can remember you and give you a distance based on postcodes. It will also have a block function as advised by my legal guys. The idea is to bring students L1/2/3/4/5/6 together with Native BSL Signers which will provide practice opportunities for the student, and social activities (Meetup for coffee) for the D/deaf person. If your interested in helping test and give feedback, please message me privately and ill give you instructions on how to access the page. Thanks Kim
    • Hi again do you know of any body in the Midlands that would like a BSL Buddy. Kate xxxxxxx  
    • I could not find this "...Deaf Pub listings at deaf.mymentalwellness.uk..." Do I have to sign in ?
    • Hi Kim, i'll be interested. I have posted a need for a BSL buddie, and the location/distance is an important part of being a buddie. I think we all need it to be convenient to meet and practice.
    • I wear a BAHA for my moderate to severe unilateral and I would like to be able to communicate in bel because it feels easier.
    • I'm a 13 year old girl with moderate to severe unilateral deafness, I currently wear a BAHA on a headband and I want to get the implant and I have recently started learning BSL. I know that my hearing loss is quite low but I still really want to be involved in the Deaf/HoH community but I have no idea how.
