New resource for teachers of deaf pupils in special schools
The National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS) have produced a guide for teachers within special schools who have deaf pupils. The Consortium for Research into Deaf Education’s 2019 report found that 12 to 15% of all deaf children are educated in a special school due to the presence or combination of additional needs.
The guide provides support on the impact of their deafness on learning, how to provide high quality teaching, assessment and support for emotional health and wellbeing and will be useful for staff n all schools to look at the areas that can be adapted to improve outcomes for all deaf pupils.
