We aim to show BSL as signed here in North-East Scotland, using locally preferred signs where appropriate.
Happy learning!

Invisible Disabilities Week
💜 Some disabilities are visible… and some are invisible. Every child deserves kindness, understanding and inclusion. 💜
Every child is unique, and every child deserves to feel accepted, valued and understood. 🌈
Some children may use hearing aids, cochlear implants, wheelchairs or other visible aids to help them navigate the world. Others may have disabilities or additional needs that we cannot see.
For deaf children, hearing loss may not always be obvious. A child might not respond when spoken to, need something repeated, struggle to follow conversations in a noisy environment, or feel overwhelmed in certain situations. This doesn’t mean they are ignoring you or being difficult. 💕
✨ A little understanding can make a BIG difference.
💜 Be patient.�💜 Be kind.�💜 Make sure every child feels included.�💜 Never judge what you cannot see.�💜 Remember that every child deserves the chance to communicate, connect and belong.
At Grampian Deaf Children’s Society, we believe in celebrating every child, supporting families and helping create a world where deaf children and young people feel understood, supported and included.
Let’s teach our children that differences are nothing to be ashamed of, that kindness costs nothing, and that we should never make assumptions about someone based on what we can or cannot see.
Not all disabilities are visible, but every child matters. 💜
Please share this message to help spread awareness, understanding and kindness. Together, we can make a difference. 🫶
