Deaf Awareness: 1pm – 2.30pm
British Sign Language Taster Session: 3pm – 5pm
The sessions delivered by Freedomlink - who provide study support services for disabled students, employee support services and disability awareness training - aim to develop an awareness and understanding of deafness and disability and develop confidence in supporting and communicating with deaf people.
The sessions will be run by Freedomlink’s owner, Louise Westly, who was DMU’s first Deaf student and has both personal and professional experience of disability access issues.
You can learn how to sign in the fun and engaging BSL taster sessions, which will give you an insight into the Deaf Community as well as showing you some of the basics of BSL.
