Teachers of the Deaf asked for videos on linking a #RadioAid to a computer for #homeschooling #deaf children. This Phonak UK video shows how to connect to TV via an audio cable- same goes for connecting to computer etc. Clare Nelder (sign name: cap in BSL) (she/her) BATOD National Deaf Children's Society youtu.be/fFVUBD6RkTQ

Remember that #hearing devices best pick up sounds within 2-3 meters. Proper #SocialSistancing (i.e. chatting to your neighbour across the road) negatively affects the ability to socialise for those with hearing devices even more. #deaf #HardOfHearing

A free remote interpreting service for British Sign Language (BSL) and Irish Sign Language (ISL) users to access NHS111 and health and social care services during #COVID19 has launched. For more info and to connect to a remote video interpreter: interpreternow.co.uk/nhs111ni

Teachers, we’ve produced a short video to support you when making decisions about centre assessment grades. It is now available on the CCEA website and can be accessed here ➡️ccea.org.uk/summer-awarding

Lots of different resources from @DSNI_tweets to help families stay active - some energetic, some relaxing. Videos on YouTube, so subtitles can be switched on.

We hope you are keeping well & safe as lockdown continues. We have updated the Covid section of our website with new info & links, to help provide support & advice for children & young people and their parents at this difficult & uncertain time - see here bit.ly/35zH0Qg

I'd like to make a page explaining how to make #BSL media (videos) accessible for #Deafblind/RP/Ushers viewers, especially professional made ones (by the BBC, govt, BSLZone, etc.) and distribute it far and widely (possibly with help of British Deaf Association, Sense, @BSLZone , et al.)

It is Deafblind Awareness week.Today we highlight a BATOD article from Sense about their support in Early Years batod.org.uk/deafblind-awar… BATOD BATOD NI @BatodWales BAToD South @BATODSouthWest Sense BATOD_East Batod Midlands BATODNorth
