BSL and Lipspeaking Guided Tours
If you have a hearing loss then booking a guided tour is something you wouldn't usually consider. Keeping up with a guide and understanding the tour can be difficult and you may have resigned yourself to not being able to follow.
Royal Collection Education, London is making a number of their tours accessible to deaf and hard of hearing people by employing a lipspeaker.
