ICT FOR TEACHING THE HEARING IMPAIRED

The target group of this project is people with hearing impairment. They are one of the most vulnerable groups in Sri Lanka. The project uses ICT to teach this group and enable communication among the members of this group. The goal is to improve the level of literacy and communication among people with hearing impairment. The programme uses multi-media tools like CD/DVD, Website, to achieve its goal of making such disadvantaged community inclusive. That the programme uses sign language and provides content in local language is other hallmark of this initiative. All the icons on the website are self explanatory and easy to follow.
