Cluster

Cluster 2

Cluster 2 includes schools for children who are deaf and hard-of-hearing, children with severe speech/language difficulties or a language development disorder (LDD) and children with autistic spectrum disorders where the focus is on communication. At cluster 2 schools, the personalised approach is key to making communication as easy as possible for the children. These include speech computers, digital textbooks and a focus on lip reading and speech training. The interests of these schools are represented by the national cluster association Siméa.
