Communication support for Deaf People using BSL provided by SDA
A free, confidential and independent support service for deaf, hard of hearing people living in Southwark.
This service supports you when communication is a problem and is provided by Ann who is a BSL Communicator Level 3, not an interpreter.
SDA can support you with:
· Providing information
· Explaining and dealing with simple correspondence (letters)
· Making telephone calls
· Filling in forms
Ann will refer you to another service if the support you require is complicated, requires more time to solve or needs advocacy (someone to fight for you).
Face to face Drop-in sessions are currently suspended but you can have a meeting via Zoom or Skype
