Phonak: ‘Teaching deaf children to swim’
Hi all, just a quick one to say…
Further to my personal blog post: ‘Sink or Swim’… I wrote a blog post for Phonak:
‘5 tips for teaching a deaf child to swim’
I hope you enjoy reading it!
Spreading deaf awareness within schools!
In my opinion, deaf awareness is crucial in the hearing society, especially in schools. According to NDCS: ‘There are 35,000 deaf children and 85% of these are taught in mainstream schools’. This is a staggering amount, but there is still a lack of support and awareness of hearing loss. Due to this, many deaf children are underachieving in schools, and this really disappoints me. Most children can achieve anything given the right support.
Sink or swim?
Swimming…
Children splashing, elderly people gracefully doing breast-stroke, lifeguards yelling, show offs’ jumping in- that’s a typical swimming pool.
To me- it’s freedom. As I take my hearing aids out, all is silent, as if the world had stopped, but the action was still happening. I slide in the water; it sends a shiver up my spine. I brave it, duck underwater, and off I go.
