Due to resource constraints we do not, so recommend contacting the National Deaf Children’s Society for resources and support.

The great thing about being a member of SDCS is that you are surrounded by other parents and carers who understand the challenges and joys of raising deaf children.
They share practical advice, lived experiences, and emotional support and can suggest other sources of information and support.
