the Jazz in both ears and I wear a

I'm more greatly deaf so I only wear two
HEARING:
hearing the port I get in school are that I have

note-taker as well and I have a hearing
support teacher that comes in once every

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
 |
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
 |
support and very high standards because
it definitely makes a difference to my
learning
