| 21 January 2010 | An Introduction to Non Professional Counselling |
| Provider: The Ear Foundation | Venue: The Ear Foundation | Cost: £95.00 |
| A high degree of specialist technical knowledge is essential nowadays when supporting children with hearing losses. However professionals also need emotional intelligence to support the families as they come to terms with the identification of deafness in their child. And this often means that we are called upon to use non professional counselling skills on an almost daily basis.
This one day course does not claim to train you to be a counsellor; instead we aim to explore the skills and strengths needed for non-professional counselling. Using resources developed with The Ear Foundation by some of the world’s leading experts in the field.

| Provider: The Ear Foundation | Venue: The Ear Foundation | Cost: £85 |
| While cochlear implants have made a huge difference in terms of language and speech development, young deaf people still have to face a variety of problems that other hearing students may not understand.

This day will explore the range of emotions experienced by teenagers in relation to their deafness and cochlear implantation. The workshop will focus on practical strategies which can be used at school to support deaf young people and prepare them for life beyond school. |

| 27 April 2010 | Working with Children with CI in the Secondary Years |
| Provider: The Ear Foundation | Venue: The Ear Foundation | Cost: £85 |
| Secondary schools are finding that many more of their severe and profoundly deaf pupils are cochlear implant users. Increasingly these are youngsters who were implanted before starting school and have made excellent progress with their spoken language development. This group, combined with CI users who have additional difficulties and so making slower progress, are challenging how we have traditionally supported them within the secondary environment. This day will explore a number of the areas in which support needs have changed and look at practical suggestions as to how to work with this group to ensure they achieve their potential. |

How this support looks, and tailoring it to meet the individual needs of this population is changing and requires commitment and flexibility. This day will explore some of the issues involved in supporting the post 16 deaf populations, with opportunities to hear from young adults themselves and the professionals supporting them. |
