British Association of Teachers of the Deaf (BATOD).gif)
In the UK, BATOD deals with all professional aspects of the education of deaf children and their teachers, and advises government and national bodies.
It carries out research into deaf children and can help with dissertations, information on careers with deaf children and training to be a Teacher of the Deaf.
Teachers of the Deaf, educational support workers and anyone with an interest in the education of deaf children can join BATOD. We strongly advise you to link in to their expertise. 
For those of you working in BSL settings or some total comm. situations, this is a great site with deaf people signing stories – from toddler stories to scary tales!

It comes highly recommended from my families/staff. The project manager is local to Darlington and my authority has just sponsored ITV to produce a book for us on the website (The Bear In The Cave). We are obviously very excited about the project.
The BATOD website hosts a wealth of interesting teaching materials, including articles, surveys and research papers from the UK and around the world. It is regularly updated. There is a useful selection of frequently asked questions and details of upcoming conferences.
