Welcome to the Association of Lipspeakers

The Association of Lipspeakers (ALS) is the professional body that represents lipspeakers. We aim to promote lipspeaking and its good practice and encourage the further development of lipspeaking as a communication service.

This site should enable you to find and successfully use lipspeakers, whether through a registered agency or by direct contact with lipspeakers in your region.

Annual workshop this year is to be held in Birmingham on Saturday June 8th more details to follow.

Useful Information

ALWAYS ask to see the name badge of your lipspeaker. All NRCPD registered lipspeakers will have one. This ensures quality and allows you to complain about the quality if need be to the NRCPD.

ALS are working hard to try and provide lipspeaker training courses for the coming year 2014. There will be a selection date on the 5th October 2013.
