Robinson, Pam

I am a qualified teacher of the deaf and specialist teacher for children who are deafblind/multi-sensory impaired. I have worked in the field of deaf education for over 35 years, in Resource bases, Special Schools, as a Peripatetic Teacher and as a Head Teacher of a special school for deaf children. I have also worked for a short time with the National Deaf Children’s Society as an Appeals and Disputes officer and am a Teaching Practice Supervisor on the Mary Hare/ Hertfordshire University Teacher of the Deaf Course. I have a special interest in supporting deaf children with complex needs.

My present work involves me offering consultancy support in schools, ( this may be organised as blocks of support or as a one off session), and conducting assessments to support EHCP's and school placements. I have experience of supporting families for tribunals. My assessments are holistic, reflecting the needs of the whole child and are truly functional as they are administered in the child’s own setting.

I am committed to supporting quality education for deaf and multi-sensory impaired pupils and strive to work in partnership with pupils, families and educational teams. I always seek to support young people to see the best in themselves and achieve the best possible outcomes relevant to their ability.
