The Royal Institute for Deaf and
Blind Children (RIDBC) is
located in Sydney, Australia.
Australia is a very big country,
and many people live in remote
areas far away from Sydney. The
RIDBC has developed a unique
program to help children who
cannot travel to the school.
They developed a Teleschool. The
Teleschool is a service for deaf
children and children with
vision problems. The students
and teachers communicate each
through a televison.
This video shows a mother named
Laidy and her daughter, Bella.
Bella is a student in the
Teleschool. The teacher helps
Laidy to understand about
Bella’s deafness and helps Bella
learn to use what she hears with
her cochlear implant.

Instituto Cearense de
Educação de Surdos (ICES)
BRAZIL |
|
Instituto Cearense de Educação
de Surdos (ICES) is a bilingual
school in the country of Brazil.
It was founded in March, 1961.
It started as an oral school
that taught only speech and
lipreading for communication. In
the 1990's, the school officials
began to feel that deaf students
should also know how to use sign
language. In 2001, they changed
the school to be a bilingual
school so that students could
use both methods to communicate.
ICES is a very large school.
There are about 500 students
enrolled. |
