Adult Learning can help you if you are looking to learn lipreading skills.

We work with adults who have a hearing loss and want to learn lipreading skills and coping strategies. The first step is to contact us to arrange an appointment so we can find out more about you and your needs. 

You could then move on to join a group to learn and practice lipreading skills. You will learn how to manage social settings and everyday encounters and find out about specialist equipment.

We also offer a support group to help you to practice your skills and participate in social activities.

We are planning to start our next new programmes in September 2026. If you are interested in finding out more please email us on adultlearning@westlothian.gov.uk
