This social story is designed to help deaf children and young people feel more comfortable using their radio aid at home, at extra-curricular clubs, and at school or nursery. It may be useful for students who are new to using a radio aid, will be using it in a new way, or are reluctant to use one. It includes prompt cards for children and young people to share with teachers.
