“BATOD is very pleased to support this excellent project looking at how to support young deaf people to develop greater independence. Qualified Teachers of the Deaf greatly benefit from good quality research and their practice is always thereby improved.
There is a great need for in-depth research into this somewhat neglected age group and we are encouraging members and other QToD colleagues to put forward young people for the study. We look forward to following the project as it develops and to publishing articles and blog posts on our website and in our publications.”
Steph Halder, President and Paul Simpson, National Executive Officer.
