PROGRAMMES |
| |
Deafness often often
has a marked and negative impact on the daily lives
of Deaf people living within a |
| |
"hearing world".
The majority of this marginalised community have been
isolated from society at large and |
| |
continue to be
discriminated against |
| |
|
| |
The programmes
implemented by the Association tom integrate the Deaf
community into mainstream |
| |
society, capacitate
them to function at an optimal level and meet the
needs expressed by the Deaf |
| |
community |
| |
|
| |
All programmes
targeting the Deaf community are conducted in sign
language |
