Justina Shelley

I’ve learnt so much about early language development and it’s really changed my practice. I’ve realised how important it is that deaf children, especially those that are born to hearing families, have all the opportunities to develop language and communication so that they’re ready to start school alongside their peers. 

Justina Shelley, Teacher of the Deaf undertaking AVUK’s advanced training course.


Bursary

As a charity we are often able to offer free or subsidised training online to professionals working with pre-school deaf children. Find out more here.


Continued Mentorship Programme (CMP) 

This programme provides ongoing encouragement, guidance, resources and mentoring and provides a platform for professionals to connect with and support one another through regular online meetings and discussion boards.  


Clinical Supervision 

Where our training package may not be suitable, we are able to offer 1-2-1 mentoring sessions on an ad hoc basis to health and education professionals including Speech and Language Therapists, Teachers of the Deaf and Audiologists.  

If you have any questions about our clinical supervision or CMP programme, please use our enquiry form or email [email protected].
