Deaf Awareness and Sign Language

Deafness is the second most common disability in the UK, but it is an ‘invisible’ problem. This course will help you to consider your own attitude to deafness and that of others. You will gain an understanding of the problems that deafness brings and how hearing people can help. Information on British, American and Spanish sign language is included, as well as the deaf-blind manual alphabet and the block alphabet, and instructions for their use.
