An intensive one-week programme for the whole family

Our one-week Summer programme provides sessions for the deaf children, siblings and parents daily (Monday-Friday) from 9.30am to 2.30pm – allowing plenty of time to socialise and explore the fascinating and historic local area.

Our Summer Programme consists of:

Daily fun-packed and educational preschool sessions for the deaf children (aged 3 to 5 years old), delivered by a qualified Teacher of the Deaf alongside other experienced members of our teaching team. A great chance for the children to learn and play with other deaf children their age, whilst being immersed in The Elizabeth Foundation’s renowned preschool setting.

An opportunity for siblings (aged 5 to 11 years) to enjoy some fun games and activities, alongside sessions that help them explore their shared position as the sibling of a deaf brother or sister, as well as learning more about deafness.

Our Summer programme also includes an intensive week of learning for parents. Sessions are provided by a range of experts from The Elizabeth Foundation alongside partners from other organisations. There is also a very popular Q&A session with a panel of deaf adults who talk about their personal experiences.

During the week your deaf child will also benefit from individual assessments by:

  • a Teacher of the Deaf
  • an Educational Psychologist
  • a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist

Each of these professionals will prepare a written report specifically for each child outlining strengths and needs – this is included in the cost of the Summer Programme.
