When accessibility isn't prioritised, this can be the reality of being deaf at school 💔 - BBC

Oh, um, try not to copy Luca. Thank you for your patience, Luca, but we can't get another CSSW till tomorrow. I know you haven't used this radio aid for a while. I thought you could, if you sit at the front. I've asked Mr. Casey to speak clearly, and and I'll stay here in case you need anything.

Everyone, just for this afternoon, culture, right, can be drawn from a number of ear. Rend language. That's just a few of them. Who can tell me that somebody—what do you think?

L: I'm sitting in the class, and I'm trying to LIT read, and I just can't understand what's being said, and it's so frustrating. Could you do that? Sit there in silence, be amongst a crowd, yet feel so lonely. My old school was perfect. Everyone signed; all my friends were there. We were deaf together, and I felt we were the same, but here I just feel different. And I'm sorry, but we're not your last school. I know that. I'm trying to fit in, but I just feel so isolated. People, people think I'm quiet, but I'm not. I love talking; I love learning. I just need to communicate to be able to be myself.
