Course Description
The courses provided by the Special Education Support Service in conjunction with registered Lámh tutors.
The Module One Add-on workshop for communication partners of children using Lámh was developed in early 2014. It is a full day workshop for people who have completed a Module one course and is very useful for those who want more signs and more information about Lámh. The workshop is useful for those who did a module one course some time ago, but who have not been using Lámh in recent times - as there is an opportunity to practise Module one signs at the start of the workshop.
