Vernon Terrace Sunshine Room - Provision for children with hearing impairments

Peer Group

The provision for hearing impaired children offers regular peer group sessions every Tuesday afternoon. The sessions promote language development through social interaction with adults and peers. The peer group is very important to the children who attend. It gives them a sense of belonging, builds their confidence and establishes new friendships. As well as being a group where they are able to develop and support language development through fun engaging activities.

The peer group is a great opportunity for a child to meet with others who understand the issues and challenges they may be facing.

Vernon Terraces' 'Total Communication Approach' is recognised as one of its strengths and allows true inclusion.

If you are interested in joining the peer group please contact the school for more information.
