Series 38: 15. Deaf Children of our Time

Back in 2007, See Hear found several deaf children from different family backgrounds starting primary school. Over the years, we've kept track of their progress and seen how the choices their parents have made have shaped their lives.\n \nAidan was born to hearing parents and went to a mainstream school with a deaf unit. Diagnosed with speech dyspraxia at an early age, it's affected his speech - but he's also an outgoing child with an interest in music and acting. When we find him at Mary Hare boarding school for deaf children, he's now focusing his efforts on dance - and has a strong network of deaf friends.\n \nYasin was also born to hearing parents, but has been in mainstream education all of his life, with very little interaction with other deaf children. He continues to work hard academically and has big dreams of working in the sciences. We caught up with him at a football tournament in the Midlands.\n \nLucy was born to deaf parents and has three deaf siblings. Her family all sign - and Lucy started out at a deaf school but has gradually transitioned to being educated in a mainstream school with communication support. She continues to swim several days a week, and dreams of competing in the 2021 Deaflympics.
