SUMMARY:Language in the Early Years: How to Support Deaf Children in Develo
 ping Countries
DESCRIPTION:22 November 11:00 - 12:30 GMT\nFor deaf children\, learning to 
 communicate is their first and most immediate challenge\, and they need su
 pport with this from the start in order to thrive. The first three years o
 f a child’s life are the most important for developing language\, whethe
 r spoken or signed. However\, for deaf children in low income communities\
 , barriers such as late diagnosis\, limited access to hearing technology a
 nd pervasive stigma\, means they are very unlikely to receive the support 
 they need. This has escalating consequences. Limited language skills impac
 t a young child’s ability to build relationships\, share experiences and
  be ready for school.\nHowever\, the work we have supported over the last 
 twenty years demonstrates there are approaches that help deaf children and
  their families. Our expert panel will share perspectives and approaches f
 rom Kenya\, Ghana\, India and Bangladesh which help develop a young deaf c
 hild’s language and communication skills. Delegates will have the opport
 unity to ask questions of our speakers as well as spend time sharing and l
 earning from each other in break-out rooms.\nREGISTER HERE
