Derbyshire County Council has announced that despite an overall increase to the costs for adult education classes, lipreading class provision will remain free.
ATLA congratulates DCC on this decision, which demonstrates their understanding of the unique nature and importance of lipreading classes for those with an acquired hearing loss.
DCC was one of very few councils to be designated as an example of good practice in the RNID report 'Read My Lips' in 2010 which was undertaken in collaboration with ATLA and Hearing LINK.
