I pray for the issue that goes smoothly without any hitches... but circumstances always seem to conspire to make the issue a challenge. Thanks to all those of you who send in articles about what you are doing in your ToD role and samples of children’s work. I am looking forward to some ‘slack time’ as this is the last Magazine of this academic year and the next issue will appear in September looking at Creativity. If you have some good examples of work - photographs etc then I would be delighted to receive them to add to the Magazine articles that Pauline Cobbold is collecting. The copy deadline is still June 20 to allow us some time to relax and be less pressured - and the gap in publication gives you a chance to catch up on your Magazine reading! Call for articles and suggestions for inclusion in future Magazines: Planning for forthcoming Magazines includes: Creativity; ICT Software; Deafness and Dyslexia; Deaf Education in Europe and Worldwide; British Sign Language If you have short articles and photographs that will help expand the contents table please contact Pauline Cobbold (Commissioning Editor email [email protected] and let me know as soon as possible. This doesn’t mean that articles about other topics and activities are not sought! PLEASE share your experiences and achievements with us - many of you are isolated as peris and to share ideas is an important form of personal professional development.

  • Vision Care for Deaf Children and Young People Throughout the UK
    s d r a d n a t S y t i l a u Q Vision care for deaf children and young people Guidelines for professionals What parents have told us... “We were impressed that they treated her as a child first, not just as a deaf child. They accommodated her needs and did various things to get her confidence, so they could get a good quality eye test done.” “The initial diagnosis – although a shock to us as parents – was followed up with care and due information and explanation.” “Families have the primary care and responsibility for their child. So it is vital to involve them from the outset as partners with health professionals in the care of their child – rather than as recipients of a service.” Driving up vision care standards for deaf children Several changes have taken place affecting deaf children since the publication of the first guidelines on vision care for all deaf children by Sense and NDCS in 2004. This new edition takes recent developments into account. Newborn Hearing Screening has been implemented throughout the UK. Babies born with permanent deafness may be indentified in the first few weeks of life – which means that families can make earlier decisions on how their child can develop language skills. Developments in the cochlear implantation programme (and service, too) have seen many more parents choosing this option for their deaf child since 2004. Most of the information a child will use to learn about their world comes through their ears and eyes. Deaf children are especially dependent on vision in order to acquire language and develop relationships.

  • Forest of Dean Local History Society
    Book Review by Keith Walker FOREST OF DEAN David Adams of the Yorkley A&E team has engendered a renewed focus on a significant forgotten local author of the 19th century. His new book “ Severn- LOCAL HISTORY side to Circassia” tells the remarkable story of the Reverend William SOCIETY Wickenden of Etloe. Over his lifetime William Wickenden published over twenty books, with the majority being fiction, but also including autobiographical and poetic volumes. He is largely unknown now, but was quite successful in the 19th century. Wickenden was born in 1796 and spent his formative years on the family farm in Etloe. His father taught him basic reading and writing, and he later received private tuition from William Gardiner, a schoolmaster and novelist who lived in Lydney. He was quite a young man when in 1817 he published his volume “The Rustic’s Lay and other poems”. The book was dedicated to Dr Edward Jenner, the pioneer of smallpox vaccination. Jenner has become aware of Wickenden’s work, and encouraged him to attend university. Although he came from a poor background and lacked formal education, he managed to gain entry in 1821 to St John’s College, Cam- bridge as a sizar (a poor student who paid lower fees and acted as a servant to other students). He gradu- ated with a lower degree from Cambridge in 1826, thus decided to enter the clergy to earn a living. He served as a curate firstly at Mudford in Somerset, then latterly at Little Compton, then Lassington. Whilst at Mudford he became embroiled in controversy, when he formed “an ill judged attachment” to a young lady, who he made his housekeeper.
