About

What is the overall aim of our provision? The Ashwood Park Resource Base for Deaf Children (RBDC) is the primary enhanced provision for D/deaf children in Dudley. Our main aims are for pupils to be proud of their identity, to be confident communicators of their needs and wants and therefore be able to achieve the best that they can within a mainstream setting.

We strive to ensure that the children are fully included into everyday life at Ashwood Park School.

We recognise that to achieve our aims the children benefit from enhanced classroom communication support and individual sessions with QToD, Specialist Teaching Assistants and Deaf Teaching Assistants This provision forms part of the Local Offer for D/deaf or Hard of Hearing pupils.
