ATLA (Association of Teachers of Lipreading to Adults)
Our aim is to create a world where lipreading classes are available to anyone who needs them.
Hearing loss is one of the most isolating disabilities.
As Jack Ashley famously said, “Deafness separates humans from humankind.”

But above all, you will improve the lipreading skills you already have – even if you are not aware of them. This will boost your confidence and allow you to take charge of your own hearing loss. To find a class near you or an online class visit the Classes page. You will also find more information in About Lipreading.
