Thank you to both Cllr Ross McMullan and Stephen Farry MP for coming to our stall and discussing the importance of early intervention so that deaf children receive the right support from the start.
#RightFromTheStart #APNI24

Had an excellent chat with David Honeyford MLA about our work alongside other charities representing deaf children. Let's ensure that forthcoming #SignLanguage legislation is robust and meets the needs of deaf children and young people who choose to sign.
#RightFromTheStart #APNI24

Great to see Connie Egan MLA shares our concerns that #deaf children are missing out on vital support and the need to work towards boosting the ranks of a specialised and qualified educational workforce.
#RightFromTheStart #APNI24

Really pleased that Nick Mathison stopped to speak with us and is interested in working with us to advocate for a better and more robust, specialist educational workforce that supports #deaf children and young people from diagnosis.

Had a useful discussion with Kate Nicholl about the need for equitable childcare in Northern Ireland. The latest CRIDE report suggests parents of preschool-aged #deaf children lack confidence in the sector when it comes to meeting the needs of their children.
