Course summary
Rapid developments in audiology and our understanding of language, communication and educational practice make teaching and learning for deaf children an exciting area of study. The PGCert Deaf Education (International) course uses an evidence-based approach to meeting the diverse needs of deaf children and places a strong emphasis on the translation of theory to practice. You will have the opportunity to access the latest research about the wide-ranging impact of deafness on language acquisition, literacy, and holistic development. You will learn about Audiological Management and apply this to the context of deaf children in your own setting.
