Via provides training in Finnish sign language, signs and signed speech for individuals, families and groups. Courses can also be tailored for educational institutions and workplaces.
Family training
Training is often provided for families and carers of hearing impaired, dysphatic or developmentally disabled children. Families with deafened or developmentally disabled adults may also need family training in signs or sign language.
Training given as rehabilitation is free of charge for the family. Families must apply for a payment commitment and a decision to cover costs at the social and welfare services of their local authorities. A speech therapist’s or doctor’s statement is required with the application.
Family training in groups
Families can also be trained in groups, adults and children partly in their own groups. Group training is applied for in the same way as other family training.
Language courses
Training in Finnish sign language, signs and signed speech is tailored according to your needs – from short, one day courses to longer training periods.
