A lipspeaker is a hearing person who acts as a professional aid to communication between deaf and hearing people. Lipspeakers silently repeat a speaker's message as it is being spoken and the deaf person lipreads them.

They reproduce clearly the shapes of the words and the natural rhythm and stress used by the speaker. They also use facial expression, gesture and, if requested, finger spelling, to aid the lipreader's understanding.

For many assignments two lip speakers will be required. A lipspeaker should not be expected to work alone for a whole day or for complex and specialist areas of work.

Level 3 lipspeaker available. Experiences include the Law Courts, Police, Child Protection Services, Social Services, Government Depts. conferences, hospitals and International work.
