It’s a well thought-out and planned event, attended by deaf boysand girls along with parents coming from all over India. Since 1991 till date we have mademore than 1000 success stories.

PEER TO PEER DEAF LITERACY PROJECT
This project investigates deaf learners’ use of ‘multiliteracies’, including reading, writing,sign language, technology and multimodal communication, to improve the education ofdeaf people in developing countries. It is a three-year study called ‘Peer to Peer DeafMultiliteracies: Research into a sustainable approach to the education of deaf children andyoung adults in the Global South’.
To address the longstanding problem of deaf people’s insufficient access to schools in thedeveloping world, and their resulting lack of employment, income, life quality andfulfilment, this study expands and further entrenches the pilot’s cost-effective and learner-directed literacy teaching methods. These methods involve peer-to-peer teaching by localdeaf tutors, supported by deaf research assistants (RAs) in India, Ghana and Uganda.
Their work is bolstered in the UK including through our online app Sign Language toEnglish for the Deaf (SLEND) and the adaptation of appropriate assessment methods. To
identify generalisable, flexible models that can be taken up by educational providers in thedeveloping world, the project considers the similarities and differences across educationalsystems in the different countries. It focuses throughout on the agency of deaf learners(including children as well as adults), deaf researchers, deaf tutors, and deaf educatorswho implement the interventions.
Classes started from 15th May 2018 abatch of 18th deaf students joined thecourse.
