To help children in the early years understand how to support their deaf peers, the NDCS have launched a series of five videos on their YouTube channel.
These short, fun, and colourful animated videos feature a diverse range of animal characters from the children’s book, Elephant and the Lost Blanket.
Complete with subtitles and a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter, each video covers a different theme on how children can communicate, support and include their deaf peers. Find the first one on the link below.
