Course Description

The course is 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 Lamh was developed in early 2014 :

• It is a full day workshop for people who have completed a Module One course
• It is very useful for those who want more signs and more information about Lámh
• It is also 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
