DOTDeaf is an Erasmus+ funded project developing free learning opportunities to a specific group of deaf adults, Deaf Language Specialists (DLSs) and co-working Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs). DLSs are a small group with specialist skills who work with deaf children and adults in educational, social and health settings.
This event is an opportunity to find out about the development of the online training modules, how they were adapted to other signed languages, and the different contexts in which DLSs and SLTs work in each partner country. We will showcase the online modules developed by project partners and hear from DLS and SLT teams involved in piloting the training.
The workshop will be of interest to Speech & Language Therapists, Deaf Language Specialists and other professionals, and especially to service managers interested in developments in delivery of language therapy in signed languages. The languages of the conference will be English and International Sign. Afternoon breakout rooms will run in the languages of the project partners: BSL/English, LSE/Spanish, LGP/Portuguese.
The workshop will take place via Zoom on 25 June 2021 between 9.30-4.00 (GMT). Pre-recorded materials will be available in advance of the day and during the registration period from 9.30-10.00 on the day of the event.
