MEET THE TEAM!
As a new business, we think it’s really important to let you all know who we are and what we can do for you. So over the next few weeks we’ll be introducing you to our team, as well as highlighting some of the services we can offer.
And to kick it all off, we’d like to introduce you to Sam!
Sam first learned some BSL from his Grandma as a child while being homeschooled and it definitely gave him a desire to know more! He continued his learning as a teenager, and eventually taught a level 1 evening class as well.
When he met his wife, he was delighted to learn that she also knew BSL and he has been of great help supporting a Deaf family member of hers in attending appointments and helping him communicate with doctors and support workers. He is also happily teaching his 3 children BSL and they all love being around d/Deaf family and friends and being able to communicate with them.
Sam has been doing Communication Support work for over 15 years, working in a variety of settings and at varying events all over Devon.
His specialty would probably be in education settings, as he worked as a Teaching Assistant for several years and so is excellent in helping with communication at parents evenings & school events.
He has also supported Deaf individuals who are self-employed and receive Access to Work funding to enable them to communicate with their customers or clients.
We hope you enjoyed meeting Sam, and we look forward to sharing more with you over the coming weeks!
