Deaf Student Experience (Universities)

We provide the following:

Services

Our expert team have a wealth of experience and are on hand to answer any questions you have about supporting a deaf student during their time at university.

BSL Interpreting

British Sign Language (BSL) Interpreters enable communication between deaf and hearing people. This is crucial for those people who use BSL as their first or preferred language.

Electronic Notetaking

Comprehensive summary notes of the meeting, lecture or seminar are created at approximately 120 words per minute.

Speech to Text Reporters

STTR professionals to listen to speech and transcribe the text verbatim using a specialist keyboard. The text is displayed on a screen at 200-300 words per minute.

Specialist Support Professionals

We can provide 1-2-1 specialist English language support to deaf people who whose first language is BSL or those who communicate orally.

Captioning Lectures

We can caption any pre-recorded lectures, so that they are accessible for deaf students studying on that particular course.

This will also be beneficial for other students who also find captions useful.

BSL Interpreting Lectures

If the student has a preference for BSL Interpreting, we will use our network of highly qualified Interpreters to produce the content into BSL.

Supporting Stakeholders

Staying in touch to ensure students have the best experience possible

You may not be assessing deaf students on a regular basis, so we are here to share our expertise to make this process simpler.

We share our knowledge on how to assess a deaf student through finding out more about their specific needs.

When we start working with a new student, we like to get to know their preferences and how they like to work.

We very quickly set up a welcome video call and a team of Interpreters is established around the student so that they receive consistent support.

The student will then receive a monthly check in to see how things are going.

We use our years of experience to impart useful knowledge and information to the Universities that we work with.

Communication is key, and we stay in regular contact with universities, providing them with information on how the student is getting on as well as regular budget updates.
