Update from Sensory and Physical team

Want to start to learn sign language? To celebrate Deaf awareness and to encourage inclusive practice our colleague, Debra May, Advisory Deaf Inclusion Worker, Devon County Council has produced a series of short videos to introduce some useful signs.  Watch our video here. In the first video Debra will show you the British Sign Language (BSL) vocabulary for greetings. * Hello, how are you? * Yes, I'm fine * Welcome! Good to see you * Nice to see you * Thank you. Bye!

Got a member of staff, parent or governor that can sign to at least Level 2? 

Sign to me is ideal for a BSL signing club. It can even be used as a modern foreign language resource! Click below for details.

Look out for the next edition of the SEND update 19th June
