A few examples of these programs are:
Support for deaf and hard of hearing students
Through a partnership with Telethon Speech & Hearing (TSH), the Outpost School Support Program allows deaf and hard of hearing students in Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 to take a full and active part in school life. Students attend classes while receiving support and individual assistance from a Teacher of the Deaf. Individual assistance may include developing areas of language, speech, auditory and academic support tailored to meet the individual needs of the students.
Children are assisted in the management of their audiological equipment, including hearing aids and cochlear implants. Education Assistants provide support for children in the classroom and Notetakers provide support for secondary students.
TSH staff are based on campus and run the program in partnership with St Stephen’s School. An Audiologist, Speech Pathologist, Occupational Therapist and Psychologist, based at the TSH Wembley campus, provide support, and visit the school on a regular basis.
For children with a hearing loss, the opportunity to access the same educational options as their peers is invaluable.
