Lovely Holly has been practising the key skills she will need to become a calm and confident companion for her future deaf partner, e.g. settling.

We are so impressed by superstar Holly. She was not fazed by the various noises and conversations happening around her. Holly will accompany her future deaf partner to many places, so we want to make sure that she feels happy and relaxed in a busy environment with lots of people.

As part of her socialisation training, Holly also visited a nursery and was introduced to some children at the school gate.
