LEARN TO SIGN

We provide sign classes for relatives of Deaf children in Emersons Green and Keynsham plus a parents class at Elmfield School, Westbury-On-Trym.

Please refer to our homepage for details of these classes or contact the FCDC office.

MAKING MAINSTREAM ACTIVITIES ACCESSIBLE

We have some specific funding available to make mainstream “out of school” activities accessible to deaf children.  If your child would like to go to Cubs, Rainbows, Swimming Club, Youth Club, or any other activity, but needs some Communication Support , or even just transport to get there, please contact the Family Centre and we’ll see what we can do.
