Hearing aids and cochlear implants amplify a child’s hearing, which means they have to concentrate very hard on your voice to hear it over everything else.

Block out unnecessary noise by closing windows, doors and turning radios off. 🔇

Not all deaf children use British Sign Language (BSL). Every deaf child will have a preferred way of communicating, so find out if they use speech, BSL or a mixture of both.

Group conversations can be difficult for a deaf child to follow.

Make it easier by asking everyone to take their turn talking and to make a sign if they want to speak next.

Point to what you’re talking about, and don’t be shy about using gestures to support your communication. For example, if you’re telling a group of children dinner is ready, you can do a knife and fork action and point to the dinner table.
