:04:20. > :04:26.hearing impaired youngsters are robbed of the vital support they
:04:26. > :04:29.need. Here is David Guest. Ethan is a bright and confident
:04:29. > :04:33.six-year-old. He has moderate hearing loss but attends a

:04:40. > :04:43.in my groups, like in my electricity group, my maths group
:04:43. > :04:48.and my reading. She also goes into the classroom and works with the

:04:51. > :04:56.Salford Council is considering changes to its provision for
:04:56. > :04:59.children like Ethan, which could mean that he gets less specialist
:05:00. > :05:03.support in the classroom. It would have a huge impact. He would
:05:03. > :05:07.struggle with the work they are doing at school because he would
:05:07. > :05:11.not have that back-up support. The British Deaf Association say
:05:11. > :05:15.this is not an issue confined to Salford. They say there has been a
:05:15. > :05:19.reduction in the number of teachers by the death across the country,
:05:19. > :05:24.and they fear that deaf children could be marginalised in the
:05:24. > :05:28.classroom. The council says that is not about cuts, it is about big
:05:28. > :05:33.beat -- making better use of specialist teachers by reassigning
:05:33. > :05:36.their specialisms. We are looking at other areas of the service where
:05:36. > :05:39.children have special needs and we perhaps need to put more effort
:05:39. > :05:43.into those. The Autistic Society for Greater
:05:43. > :05:50.Manchester says that children with Asperger's syndrome find it
:05:50. > :05:54.especially hard to find teaching support. They need the support to
