Recently, Deaf Children Australia delivered an engaging Deaf Awareness Training session at Strathcona Girls Grammar, bringing together a full room of staff eager to learn more about deaf and hard of hearing people, communication accessibility, and inclusive education.
The session created space for practical learning and open conversation. Participants explored the everyday experiences of deaf and hard of hearing students, while gaining simple and effective strategies to improve communication with deaf people in classrooms and school environments.
Throughout the session, there were many “I didn’t know that” moments as staff developed a deeper understanding of deaf awareness, accessible communication, and the small changes that can make a big difference for deaf and hard of hearing students.
Deaf Awareness Training for schools helps build confidence and knowledge. It provides practical tools to support inclusive classrooms, improve communication, and ensure deaf and hard of hearing students feel included and understood.
By the end of the session, staff walked away with new knowledge, greater confidence, and a stronger commitment to creating inclusive spaces for deaf and hard of hearing people.
If your school or workplace would like to learn more, Deaf Children Australia’s Deaf Awareness Training can be tailored to different environments, including schools, organisations, and workplaces.
