Tell us your experiences of Teachers of the Deaf

We believe every deaf child or child with hearing loss should have access to the support they need right from the start.

Teachers of the Deaf (ToDs) play a vital role in supporting deaf children and young people, and their families. We want to understand more about their impact.

What is a Teacher of the Deaf?

Teachers of the Deaf are a lifeline for many families. They are trained and qualified to provide specialist support to deaf children of all ages. They play a vital role in deaf children’s lives, particularly during the critical early years - helping them to thrive socially and developmentally.

Teachers of the Deaf support deaf children from birth, offering advice and support to families in the home during the early years, before supporting them through school and beyond. They play a crucial role in providing tailored education, helping deaf children achieve their fullest potential.
