Hello Everyone!

My name is Lauren, I’m 32 and live on the Isle of Wight with my husband and 3 children (ages 10, 8 and 4).

I’m currently studying for a Nursing Associate qualification through an apprenticeship. I don’t know anyone personally who is deaf, but I’m working in paediatrics currently (which is where I’d like to go once I qualify), I met a child who was deaf and no one around me could sign, her parents translated for her. I decided there and then how useful it would be to be able to sign to better support patients who are deaf. I’m really enjoying it so far and wish I had done it a long time ago!

  I have had an interest in learning BSL for a long time. I believe born out of a desire to communicate with everyone (younger me was super extroverted). I also worked with SEN children some which were diagnosed as hearing impaired. I kept stopping and starting for many years due to the business of life. But life also decided I needed to slow down so I have decided this is the year I will complete the intro course and looking forward to learning more in the future. Also looking forward to engaging

  That is great and will be a useful skill to have as you progress in SEN. I am a former SEN teacher.
