First year studies will provide a broad knowledge of a range of impairments and help students to cultivate a deeper understanding of the key issues related to the inclusion of disabled children and adults in society and education; students will examine how to communicate effectively with people whose physical, sensory and learning impairments make communication difficult; in the second year participants will acquire the skills needed to research the experiences of disabled children and adults; they will be challenged to think about the provision for pupils and young children with special educational needs and appropriate early years environments; an international placement will be negotiated with a host institution which will develop professional skills, research methods and perspectives on behaviour; students will benefit from work experience in a college, school or educational establishment during their second and third years; final year studies will include a full analysis of social and critical issues affecting the lives of disabled people; students will learn to analyse the requirements surrounding specific learning difficulties and cultivate their approaches to supporting inclusive learning; in deaf studies, the first year provides students with invaluable insight into key disability issues and related D/deaf perspectives; it also introduces students to British Sign Language, and sign linguistics; year 2 brings a sharp focus on the D/deaf community itself, including D/deaf issues in disability practices; it also investigates the fascinating subject of deafness and language development; the third year explores key themes of deaf blind policies and practices technological issues related to deafness; students will also have the opportunity to enhance their sign language skills as well as the option to work or research within the deaf community.
