I'm hearing and a mum of three teens.

I grew up with deaf school friends from the age of 5 and started learning BSL around the age of 15. I studied linguistics and deaf studies at university and then went on to qualify as a mainstream teacher returning later to study and qualify as a Teacher of the Deaf. At the start of my career, I worked with autistic children and adults, older people in nursing homes, people with mental health problems and supported d/Deaf, Deafblind people as a Communication Support Worker (CSW) and Learning and teaching support roles. I loved teaching the best and taught Deaf students from pre schoolers and their families up to college age students in the South of England in different schools and colleges, but then I left my career to bring up my family.
I have the old CACDP level 3 BSL, and new signature BSL level 4, currently studying for my level 6.
