We provide advice and information on all aspects of childhood deafness, including education, benefits, technology and equipment.
We also offer support with benefit claims, Disability Appeal Tribunals and special education needs tribunals/appeals.
Our beliefs:
What we do
- Deaf children can do anything other children can do, given the right support from the start.
- Effective language and communication skills lie at the heart of deaf children and young people's social, emotional and intellectual development.
- Families are the most important influence on deaf children and young people, and need clear, balanced information to make informed choices.
- Deaf children should be involved in decisions which affect them as early as possible.
- Deaf children should be valued by society and have the same opportunities as any other child.
