Lip reading is a vital communication skill for many people with hearing loss. If someone develops hearing loss at a later stage in life, lip reading classes might benefit them.

“When people are diagnosed with hearing loss, they are at the start of a journey and what it means to them personally; for some, it will be to find their identity and their place in the world...” Read our guest edit on identity in the latest @ENT_AudsNews bit.ly/3L0G0KR

Watch this- providing deaf babies with visual connections through signs and gestures early on can significantly reduce language deprivation. This is crucial as it offers them an opportunity to engage and communicate effectively.
Want to light up your baby’s brain? Think “serve and return.” 🎾
Much like a tennis match, serve and return entails back and forth interaction during which adult and child trade conversational (and other expressive) turns.
This father/daughter duo provide a fantastic example.
Only 8 weeks old, baby “serves” by reaching out for her father’s attention - making eye contact, sticking out her tongue, and cooing.
Her adoring and attentive dad, meanwhile, “returns” - mimicking and extending her cues and vocalizations.
As the two participate in this mutual exchange, neural connections are strengthened that support the development of baby’s communication and social skills.
More than just your physical presence, your baby needs your undivided attention - so be mindful of screen time and other distractions and engage your little one face-to-face. The dividends will be huge.

It's illegal to discriminate against someone because of a protected characteristic.
The Equality Act details nine characteristics, including religion or belief. That extends to not believing in any #religion.
