My name is Vanessa Fearon, and I am a student at the University of Salford. I am developing a project on Social
Inclusion for people who are deaf / partially deaf:
http://www.rsadesigndirections.org/projects.html

My main aim is to collect opinions on how such people who may suffer from this feel they could be more included, mainly in an educational setting.

If you work, live or socialise with Deaf or Partially Deaf people, I would be really grateful if you could take a few minutes to answer the following questions:

1. As a person who supports or interacts with people who are Hearing Impaired, what aspects of communication do you find difficult, and why?

2. Do you have ANY Suggestions on how communication could be improved?

Please reply with your answers to V.C.Fearon@student.salford.ac.uk
