Helpful tips for deaf awareness training

What, if anything, could have been improved about the webinar?

All good, just a bit tired at the end.
Would have like to have spent more time, slower pace, going through speech acoustics as this is quite complex. As a Teacher of the Deaf, I already knew quite a bit about the points covered, earlier. Our Educational Audiologist has done a presentation on acoustics, and I have done some background reading. Bit on speech acoustics felt a bit rushed, and perhaps more on how this accesses pupils understanding of different words. Overall very good presentation.
I would like to attend a follow on session going into more detail on audiograms and speech acoustics.
More information in the booking email - the session would have been more suited to some of my staff who are newer to the role.
Everything included was very relevant. I would have like to have had more on the speech discrimination and speech acoustics and presentation techniques.
