A bit about me

[Ellie911]

Hi, my name is Ruth, I am profoundly deaf in one ear and hard of hearing the other. 

I am a Specialist Deafblind Worker for the areas, Gloucestershire,  Herefordshire and Worcestershire for the company Deafblind Enablement.  

I carry out Specialist Assessments for Deafblind needs, making sure their rights are upheld, they have access to information, their independence is enabled and they have assistance with their mobility.

I'm currently learning BSL for better communication with clients, also to personally help myself.

Welcome to the forum, Ruth! It's great that you're learning BSL for better communication with clients and for yourself! How long have you been learning for up until now?

I started learning earlier this year via YouTube and started classes for the level 1 in September
