FAMILY SUPPORT FOR DEAF TEENS:

there are 45,000 children in the UK and

I'm one of them 90% of deaf children are

born into families who have no

experience of deafness I am one of them

 of 85 percent of deaf children

who attends mainstream school I'm

Bethany and I'm 15 years old

my name is Ellen  and I live in

oxygen.

 my name is Lucy and I'm 13 and I

live in Dorchester in Dorset

FAMILY SUPPORT FOR DEAF TEENS:

cop and airplane taking off and I prefer

the Jazz in both ears and I wear a

cochlear implant on the right side and

without him I would be lost

I'm more greatly deaf so I only wear two

HEARING:

hearing the port I get in school are that I have

88 in my class and she's a

note-taker as well and I have a hearing

support teacher that comes in once every

two to three weeks and also have a tick

to the death and new knit as well in the

school I go to mainstream I have a

Rayleigh wave which is a microphone that

goes and to teachers net that the

microphone makes it louder for me not

others and it goes straight to my

FAMILY SUPPORT FOR DEAF TEENS:

hearing aid also I have a red Wade

sample system I had it done 18 months

ago and it's really beautiful I don't

know how I survived work and I have

speech in therapy as well I do have here

support service and you did come in

quite a lot but then when he got into

secondary school he didn't come in as

often

MONEY:

if they cut the money or they're here in

support teachers I would feel a bit

isolated because I wouldn't know where

to who to turn to I wouldn't have that

extra guidance from the person that

FAMILY SUPPORT FOR DEAF TEENS

actually knows what I'm about and what

my equipment is I've been really really

upset thing because without the support

that I've had previously that I've kind

of got now it wouldn't be the same you

wouldn't have that little bit of

FAMILY SUPPORT FOR DEAF TEENS:

security with you you know it wouldn't

be there to help you in your lessons I

would be really upset and angry I would

have to say it because I'm I'm I need

the support I have right now and it's a

white level and if I had anything less I

probably would fail

DISADVANTAGES:

we're definitely disadvantaged with in

our learning so with that extras of what

they helped us understand that we can

actually come on top

I have a statement of special education

needs but not all deaf children happen

and I do think all deaf children need

have one because then that means they

can have a better quality of life and

FAMILY SUPPORT FOR DEAF TEENS:

they can get the qualifications I need

British sign language and should be

something that's done within schools as

well perhaps as a GCSE or as a club or

something because everyone should have

those basics of how to communicate with

DEAF CHILD:

a deaf child I have a really good

hearing support teachers and they're

really really supportive but after

speaking to other people on the Youth

Advisory Board for nd CS not everyone

gets the same support as me so I think

everyone should be offered the same

FAMILY SUPPORT FOR DEAF TEENS

support and very high standards because

it definitely makes a difference to my

learning
