  1. HEI Perspective on Deaf Student Support Laura Doe University of Central Lancashire

  2. My background: • Further Education – various support roles • Higher Education - UCLan • Note-taker • Language Tutor • Project Officer in Deaf Studies • Part-time Lecturer (in Deaf Studies)

  3. Scenario: Arrive at classroom to find…. • Large class (40+ students) • Four deaf students • Room – long and narrow • No windows! • Interpreter and note-taker • Also, student in wheelchair

  4. Issues I have encountered: • Did not know how many deaf students prior to lecture • No time to prep interpreters • Room not appropriate

  5. More issues: • Interpreter / note-taker NOT available • Note-taker not always needed? • Practicalities of group work • Resources

  6. Assessments: • We use a range of assessments eg. Essays, Portfolios, Presentations, Videos • Language Support • UCLan = hand in 2 copies • Mark final corrected version (sticker) • Marking guidelines

  7. Finally… • Interpreters, Note-takers & equipment can improve access for deaf students… • But still does not mean that deaf students have equal access. • Assessment of Need is not a universal remedy…It provides guidelines, but reality is sometimes very different.
