Sign Language at Schools & Colleges
Sign Language at Schools & Colleges
A one week campaign with 2000+ school students as participants, CDT celebrated International Sign-Language Day (23rd September) and World Deaf Day (30th Sept) with great vigour. According to the National Association of the Deaf, roughly two percent of the country suffers with Hearing Disabilities. Highlighting the fact that Sign-Language is the only language the deaf speak and that most of us do not understand it, CDT organized this event to spread awareness among school children aged 13 to 16.
On the 23rd, 24th and 25th of September 2018, students of Brigade foundation attended the sessions organized by CDT. On 26th September, the session was conducted for students of Stonehill International School, Yelahanka. On 30th September, 40 kindergarten students of Redbridge international school attended the session. The volunteers spoke about the challenges faced by hearing-impaired people, the school students were encouraged to learn American Sign Language and basic words.
