What is the role of visual language inputs in reading development in deaf children?

An important UCL research project aims to address this question in all deaf children – regardless of whether they use BSL, English or both languages. The UCL team have already recruited 58 children who started Reception in 2022 and 2023!

The team are now recruiting deaf children who:

•  started Reception in 2023 (approx. 4yrs old)
• or will start Reception in 2024
• were diagnosed as severely or profoundly deaf before 3yrs old
• have lived in the UK for at least 6 months
• are able to complete 10-15mins of tasks on a computer

For further information about the project & how to sign up please visit: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/icn/research/research-groups/visual-communication/visual-communication-reading-development-project.  Information is available in English and BSL.
