Can you fingerspell?

Wednesday 22 November 2017

Yesterday, we were lucky enough to have some visitors from BID Services – a charity committed to promoting choice and independence.

They talked to us about how to signal and help people with hearing impairments and taught us how to Fingerspell the alphabet which we thoroughly enjoyed!

“My favourite part was learning the numbers.”

– Rayn

“I really liked it when we tried to make our names with the alphabet.”

– Safiya-Mishal

“My favourite number was the number nine and you held your hand up sideways.”

– Hifza

“I liked the doorbell so if you were blind and deaf you had the remote in your pocket and it would vibrate so you would know to open the door.”

– Kashif
