Train with us

Deaf Child Worldwide offers NGOs and other interested organisations training programmes tailored to their needs. We can work online and/or face to face (where/when possible) to deliver a blend of e-learning, live online sessions and in-person trainings.

All of our training programmes are co-facilitated by deaf and hearing trainers working together and are accessible to deaf and hearing participants. 

Our online training courses

Introduction to Deafness

In this module we define deafness, look at the causes of deafness and the different degrees/types of deafness and help to deconstruct myths and misconceptions about deafness. We look at effective ways of communicating with deaf children and how to work with sign language interpreters. We consider the impact of deafness on children and learn about aspects of deaf community, culture and identity.

Next training dates:

* May 2024

Teaching Deaf Children 

In this module we look at how deafness impacts language acquisition and why this has serious ongoing impacts for deaf children. We learn what teaching styles and lesson adaptations work well for deaf children, and different ways to make schools and classrooms deaf-friendly. 

Next training dates: 

* September 2024 -  details and dates coming soon

For bespoke training, please email [email protected] to further discuss your organisation's needs.

What others thought of our training

The sessions were really helpful and were conducted by providing a safe space to explore our questions and doubts.

It was a big success that the training went very well, and I give A to all of the trainers and the participants as well. I really appreciate that the methods applied in the training, was truly participatory and accessible.

This training gave me clear learning on what to do and what not to do in our future sessions

Excellent course. Each point was very thoroughly covered.
