It is important that professionals working with deaf children have some understanding of the causes to allow them to meet the varied needs of their client base. Approximately 40% of deaf children have additional needs and this day aims to look at three different areas that are increasingly being linked with deaf children:
- Cytomegalovirus CMV
- Autistic Spectrum disorder ASD
- Auditory Neuropathy AN
The day will provide a basic introduction to each, a discussion about some of the potential issues each of these diagnoses may bring and some practical suggestions for working with these children.
Target Audience: Target Audience: Teachers of the Deaf, Parents and all those involved in the education of deaf young people.
