Supporting the pragmatic and social communication skills of deaf children

Knowing how to communicate with other people in socially appropriate ways is known as ‘pragmatics’. Sometimes, deaf children can experience delays in their pragmatic skills.

This booklet explores in depth how children develop pragmatics and includes lots of fun activities to help you practise these skills with your child.

This resource is aimed at parents of deaf children but may also be helpful for
Teachers of the Deaf (ToDs) and other professionals working with deaf children.
