These materials have been devised to be used with students aged 11–16 to raise awareness amongst hearing students of communication difficulties that deaf people may face in everyday life. They have been developed in consultation with deaf young people, who identified common problems they encountered and suggested what their hearing peers needed to know and understand to improve communication and inclusion.
