How technology can help: For families of deaf children 6-18

This booklet gives an introduction to the range of products and technologies that might be helpful to children and young people aged 6 to 18 when they're at home, at school or socialising with friends. We have separate booklets for children aged 0 to 5 and for young people aged 19 to 25.

This booklet covers:

• Waking up in the morning
• Knowing the doorbell is ringing
• Alerting your child in case of fire
• Personal paging systems
• Using the telephone
• Communicating online
• Enjoying TV, films and music and much more

At the end you’ll find how to get these technologies for your child, and information about organisations and resources that can support you.
