We support the Natural Aural Approach to the education of severely and profoundly deaf children, because it works - and we can prove it...

By ordinary people

living ordinary lives,

wearing hearing aids

using cochlear implants

with deaf and with hearing friends

going to school, college or work every day

gossiping with their friends

just getting on with life

By hard evidence

GCSE and other exam results

Reading ages

Research studies

Experience

We can show you that, with the right support, young people can achieve across the board at school and get the exam results which open up interesting and rewarding jobs. We can tell you the stories, show you the photos, introduce you to the young people and their families.

The Natural Aural Approach gives severely and profoundly deaf children the chance...

To talk with family, neighbours, friends

To go to school with brothers, sisters and local friends

And show just how talented they are
