Hello! I am an ofsted registered childminder who looks after pre school age children in my own home.

One of my mindees has recently been diagnosed as being profoundly deaf. He turned 2 in September. There had been lots of observation and discussion prior to this as well as curve balls of ear infections.

Next week, after lots of testing he gets fitted for his hearing aids!!

In partnership with his family, I had been learning and using a little makaton and visual aids (photos of key items etc)

Since this is something the family will be living with they decided to venture into BSL so I straight away looked for some online learning so I can continue to support little man and be part of his care and support system whilst working on my CPD

      Hello all, I'm a newbie to BSL, and looking forward to learning a new language.  I learned Makaton and was a teacher for children with SEN/D for a number of years. My grandmother taught me how to fingerspell when I was quite young- and its great to revise the skill. Brenna

      Why I am learning

      By Alison2402 · Posted

      I am a student nurse and I feel I should know more than just spoken and written English. I would like to be able to communicate better with any patients I have in the future who use BSL themselves. My children get taught some signing at school so I should also be learning so I can help them learn further.

      Hello all,   I am student nurse and I think that having some knowledge of BSL is important incase some of my patients use it themselves. It will help me build a better relationship with them I feel.

      Hi all! I know a few people who are deaf so  I signed up for a BSL course at my local center so I can communicate better with them. It's not easy! But love it
