Help A Deaf Child In Mexico Learn Sign Language
Organization information
Escuela de Educacion Especial de San Miguel de Allende AC
Location: San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
Summary
Children who are Deaf in Mexico are most often sent to public school. There are no teachers or interpreters there who use Mexican Sign Language. The children are left to languish, virtually untaught, in the classroom with no means to communicate. The San Miguel School for Special Education is changing all that; offering an education in sign language and written Spanish to children who are Deaf. The students' mothers and families also have the opportunity to learn sign language.
