Hi, I am Megan, 36 years old with three children. 

I wanted to learn sign language as I feel it is needed to improve inclusivity. I believe schools should have it in their curriculums, particularly with an increase of children with SEN attending mainstream school. I have worked with a non-verbal child myself and having another way to communicate would have been a fantastic addition to our working relationship. My daughter showed a keen interest to also learn BSL so we are testing each other each day and thoroughly enjoying this wonderful language.

That is awesome you have someone to train with, I test my little knowledge of BSL with my 7yr old nephew, he has hearing difficulties and he learns from his friends. I totally agree all schools should teach this, maybe as one of the language choices they have (if children still have choices now, it has been a long time since I was at school). x

      I once witnessed a situation in a clinic where a deaf-mute man was trying to explain what was hurting him, but the staff simply did not understand him. It was awkward and offensive to watch a person in a stressful situation left without help just because there was no necessary communication channel. Since then, I have become more interested in how medical support for people with hearing impairments is organized. It turned out that there are websites and services, such as FMRQ customer service ,

      hello my name is Claire, I have only just started BSL. i have always wanted to learn but only now realised you can do little bits online. if anyone has any tips for learning and practising that would be great. I'm also trying to get my family involved when it comes to learning. we had to learn little bits when my child was diagnosed with a speech disorder but it didn't go into as much depth as this , it was more for favourite toys and snacks and drink.

      I am a teacher working in London. I have wanted to learn BSL for years but have finally got around to starting an online course. There are a number of deaf students in my school and I feel like it is an excellent skill to have. So far I’m finding it a bit of a challenge but really fun! I’ve started following a few BSL Instagram influencers too and try and practice every day. Looking forward to learning more! Any recommendations very welcome!

      Why I'm learning BSL

      By Stu · Posted

      I work in a college supporting additional needs students, some of whom have hearing impairments or who are d(D)eaf. They come to lectures with interpreters, but  I want to be able to communicate directly with them more easily in future years.

      what's the sign for midwife

      By zarapierce · Posted

      The sign for midwife in BSL shows assisting birth (palms facing up, moving down from waist). If you want midwifery services, I'd recommend contacting practitioners directly to discuss their communication approach – many are wonderfully accommodating!
