Are you the Parent or Carer of a child who is deaf or has a hearing impairment and live in or around Sheffield borough?
WE CAN HELP Sheffield Deaf Children's Society (SDCS) is a local charity run by parents and friends of deaf and hearing impaired children living in the boroughs of Sheffield, Rotherham and Chesterfield, and the surrounding areas of South Yorkshire.
We are affiliated to the NDCS (National Deaf Children's Society) which allows us to make use of their resources, information and experience.
Here are just some of the things we do:
•
Our main aim is to give deaf and hearing impaired infants, children and their families the chance to get together for mutual support, to exchange information, and to have fun!
•
Provide information on infant and childhood deafness and give support to the families of deaf and hearing impaired children.
•
We have a full diary of great outings, social events and information meetings throughout the year to enable deaf children to mix with their peers and to allow parents the time to talk and support one another. Most of our trips are either free or subsidised.
•
We offer advice and support for families at particularly difficult times, such as diagnosis, choosing a school, the statementing process, and when there is concern about a child's educational progress.
•
There is an SDCS newsletter that comes out at least once a term with updates on what's happening and useful information.
•
Fund raising for equipment, events and outings.
Interested? If you have a deaf or hearing impaired infant/child who is aural, signing, a hearing aid wearer or has a cochlear implant, and would like to join us and you live in the Sheffield, Rotherham, Chesterfield or surounding areas of South Yorkshire then please click on membership on the sidebar
