Master British Sign Language & boost communication skills with Speech Therapy—enhance expression & understanding from two expert angles.
Overview:
This 2-in-1 course bundle offers a thoughtful blend of British Sign Language (BSL) Training and Speech and Listening Therapy to help learners bridge communication gaps with care and clarity. With BSL, you’ll explore finger spelling, signs, expressions, and structure—equipping you to interact more confidently with the Deaf community. It’s not about waving your hands around; it’s about saying what you mean without saying a word.
On the flip side, the Speech and Listening Therapy course hones your ability to understand speech development, speech disorders, and the principles of communication improvement. Whether helping others or simply strengthening your own communication approach, the course is designed with clear theory, communication strategies, and thoughtful frameworks. Together, these two areas meet where sound and silence overlap, creating a toolkit for those passionate about connection in all its forms.
