Video for Deaf Parents of Deaf Children

GRP : Disabilities

Charitable Organisation : National Deaf Children's Society

Project Description
The Persula Foundation provided financial support towards the production of the video The Future's Theirs : Education and Your Deaf Child. Aimed at deaf parents of deaf children, it explains parents rights in education at an accessible language level and largely through the medium of sign language. Involvement of deaf parents illustrating, through their own experiences, the choices they have made enables the message to be projected to many deaf parents in their first language - that of British Sign Language.

The presentation is supported by clear voice overs and subtitles to increase the potential audience to those deaf parents using English. Of primary importance is the desire to communicate the choices open to deaf children approaching school age clearly and visually - to a group who are often excluded from the usual channels of information and advice.
