The DOTDeaf project (Developing online training with deaf people) will host an online event from City, University of London.
We will tell you about the online course ‘Language Therapy in BSL’ which has six modules. The course is designed for SLTs and DLSs to learn together in written English and BSL. The workshop is in English and BSL. BSL/English interpreters will be working with us throughout the day.
This event is suitable for:
- Speech and language therapist (SLT) working with children who use BSL
- Deaf language specialists (DLS) supporting deaf children to develop BSL
- Those who work with children who are struggling to develop BSL
- Those who would like to know more about co-working with SLT and DLS colleagues
