The Elizabeth Foundation believes that to fully support all deaf children, working in partnership and in parallel with the many professionals involved with every deaf child is paramount. We strive to support:

• Teachers of the Deaf
• Audiologists
• Educational Psychologists
• Pediatricians
• Speech and Language Therapists
• Health Visitors
• GPs

We are a founder member of Now We’re Talking, a consortium of organizations communicating with informing professionals and policy makers about the principles of choice for deaf children which provides a forum for focused campaigns on specific issues. The Elizabeth Foundation is represented by Now We’re Talking at a number of forthcoming events.

Professionals visit, by appointment, from many local health and education authorities to not only find out about The Elizabeth Foundation and our services but to discuss relevant issues regarding early diagnosis, early support and early intervention for newly diagnosed babies.

Local colleges, universities and local health authorities send students to us for anything from half a day to two weeks to come and learn about our services.

A complete bound copy of the The Elizabeth Foundation’s Home Learning Programme is available to purchase by professionals for their local use and adaptation.
