Lámh Module One: Add-on Workshop, Primary & Post Primary

Please note applicants must previously have completed a LAMH Module One course in order to be eligible to apply for the LAMH Module One Add-On course.

Course Description

The course is provided by the National Council for Special Education (NCSE) 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 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.

• Be able to use the 100+ signs from the Module One Book
• Use Lámh as an effective communication tool
• Be enabled to encourage Lámh use
