I'm more interested in what support a non-signing teacher would have in the classroom. I have basic sign language ability which I'll obviously try to improve, but what support would I get?

Thank you Charlotte, at last a sensible answer. I was wondering if you would be willing to communicate with me via msn or email as I would really like to get some advice of what to expect. I will enable my messaging in case you are willing.
Any more answers folks?

my son goes to a school for deaf children he is in a class of 6 children with a teacher and 3/4 support staff. they help the children as well as the teacher. do remember that not all deaf children sign. as to the people who said to shout at them please remember that deaf people arent stupid they just cant hear!

You use sign language. At my work there is a deaf child and we have 2 use sign language.

just like hearing children...you point to somethign and sign it instead of saying it. You will be fine. Just brush up on your signing.
