Upcoming sessions
Supporting the Pragmatic and Social Communication Skills of Deaf Children
11 January 2024, 3pm to 4.30pm, online
Knowing how to use language socially and being able to adapt it to different situations is known as ‘pragmatics’. Sometimes, deaf children can experience delays in their pragmatic development.
This live webinar will provide insight into how deaf children develop pragmatics and how to use our pragmatics resource to develop and extend social communication skills.
This session will be hosted together with BATOD and will be presented by Dr Helen Chilton, Senior Lecturer in Deaf Education at the University of Manchester.
