Ava (24 months old) BSL Dinner Chat

This is a video of our daughter Ava who is deaf, aged 24 months having a conversation with her mum Lilli at the dinner table.

We are both deaf so we were able to sign from when Ava was born, hearing parents should be given the chance to learn sign language and be able to communicate with their own deaf child fully. We think its important to note that eventually it would be great to see this opportunity given to grandparents, siblings, and other family members/carers. Language is not a privilege, it is a right.

The National Deaf Children's Society's (NDCS) Sign Up Campaign

Language and communication skills are at the heart of deaf children's development and, providing families get the right support, deaf children can learn to communicate as well as other children. Despite this, parents across the UK are being forced to pay hundreds or thousands of pounds, just to learn to communicate with their deaf child.

Parents who want to use sign language to communicate with their child must be given the help to do so. NDCS and parents are urging the Government to make family sign language courses available for any families of deaf children who want to learn sign language.

Please support the NDCS Sign Up campaign. Thank you!
