Listening Bus feedback

"Thank you for visiting my son's school today with the Listening Bus. I think your visit was very successful, and it will build James's confidence and help his classmates to understand a little bit more about what it is like to be deaf."

Sarah Gabe, mum of a deaf child

"Fantastic experience for staff and students.  I found the experience very insightful into the world of a deaf child, in particular in the classroom and how small changes we can make can improve the quality of their teaching and learning."

Sarah Bone, Teacher of the Deaf,  Hessle

"Thanks a million for visiting us. It was a brilliant day enjoyed by all, both hearing and deaf alike, and we’ve had lots of positive feedback from the parents too.

"The children really enjoyed your visit. Now they all want to learn to sign! You offer a fabulous service to the deaf and to the hearing."

Lisa Flemming, Crawfordsburn
 

"A lovely experience for hearing and deaf children. I think having the Listening Bus has developed the empathy skills of the hearing children. I saw four hearing girls learning sign language from a deaf child at playtime! A wide range of information and the very latest publications on offer too. A real deaf awareness raising event"

Carole Williams, Teacher of the Deaf

"A fantastic chance to meet people who are informed and willing to help us! Also meeting adults and children in the same position as us. Thank you!"

Parent of deaf child

"Very useful demonstrations of the equipment. Our deaf children were facinated! Using the earhooks it was emotional seeing them listening to music  through the Ipod for the first time- their faces said it all!"

Teacher of the Deaf

"A very big 'thank you' for our time with The Listening Bus. The pupils from the senior school were surprised at how interesting their visit was as they had initially been a bit reluctant to come! But they went back to school highly enthused!"

Pam Brunson, Teacher of the Deaf
