Hi
We had a hearing impaired US student with us for a semester last year. We
faced the same difficulty. In the event, the student came with her own signer
- a fellow student, anxious to improve her signing skills and eager to benefit
from the UK experience (!!). I'm not sure whether this would work over a
three year period - the UK experience would, perhaps, become a bit wearing.
Regards
Peter
