Hearing Impairment

Please find some collated resources to help understand more about Hearing Impairment including children who use hearing aids or have a cochlear implant. 

Web links to excellent sites:

The National Deaf Children's Society (NDCS) website has lots of information for families and children. Lots of the resources are below.

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.
