pdf 01. Supporting the achievement of hearing impaired childen in early years settings Popular

Who is this resource for?

This resource is for anyone working with children with a hearing impairment in any early years setting, including:

• nursery
• playgroup
• parent and toddler group
• creche
• pre-school
• short break settings
• at home, if you are a childminder.

Staff in these settings will have valuable childcare experience that will benefit deaf children, although deaf children also have specific needs that are different from hearing children.

This resource aims to help you:

• understand the needs of a deaf child
• make sure the environment and activities in your early years setting are accessible for deaf children
• enable the deaf child to make progress towards achieving early learning goals, particularly in the area of language development
• make sure any hearing technology used is working to its maximum potential
• know where to go for extra support
• ensure that your provision can effectively meet the needs of deaf children.
