How is a hearing impairment supported at Williamwood?
Many of our pupils, and staff, have a hearing impairment and are supported with this whilst in school. To help support our young people, staff :
Collaborate in the gathering of up to date background information about our visually impaired young people
Are informed on technolgy to utilise in class (where required) such as hearing pens and radio aids
Are considerate and adaptive in their approach to movement, the class environment and noise levels and how this affects hearing impaired pupils
Are mindful in their approach to class content such as making sure subtitles are available for videos
