Deaf role model scheme extends to the province

The National Deaf Children's Society (NDCS) has extended its unique Deaf Role Model Project. The free service will now enable deaf children aged 0-18 and living in Northern Ireland the chance to meet successful deaf adults who will share their personal experiences of growing up deaf.

The NDCS project has recruited and trained deaf adults who are successful in all walks of life to work as role models. To date, deaf role models have only been able to visit families in their homes. With the extension, they will also be able to visit local groups, NDCS family weekends, schools, colleges, and youth clubs to talk about their experiences. read more
