About Milford on Sea Lipreading Community Group (MoSLCG)
This Community Group was established to enable people who have needs, but fewer means, to attend Lipreading Classes.
The group aims to be inclusive, and organise Lipreading Classes every week where people who attend simply put a donation in a box according to what they can afford or wish to pay.
The classes are partly sponsored by the National Lottery Community Fund.
The benefits of lipreading, also known as speechreading, is being able to recognise a person's lip shapes, how they use their teeth and tongue, as well as understanding their gestures and facial expressions when speaking. This helps to understand what's being said. Lipreading enables people with hearing loss to be more involved in conversation.
