What is lipspeaking?
If you are deaf and a lipreader it is very difficult to follow everything that is being said.
A lipspeaker will sit close to you and convey the message with out using their voice.
Who can use the service?
Deaf Connexions is part of INTRAN, Norfolk's Interpretation and Communication service and the service is normally free to those deaf people using the service provided by the consortium Partners.
Lipspeakers may also be booked to work outside of these areas but there may be a charge for these services.
How do you use a lipspeaker?
Lipspeakers are completely impartial and confidential. They are not responsible for what is said at a meeting, only for conveying it accurately.
A lipspeaker does not act on your behalf. You are the person in control.
