My school is a 4201 school that provides Total communication through the use of speech and American Sign language. It is a School for the Deaf. They provide education to children who come from impoverished neighborhoods. Their parents or caregivers may not have enough resources to provide them access to technology needed for learning. The school is a warm, loving, place that focuses on the development of literacy. This is because 90 percent of Deaf children are born to hearing parents who have not developed the skills to communicate with their child. Deaf children are often delayed in areas of reading and writing. We need to help these families have access to technology so they can have access to American Sign Language and Auditory training. This donation was cancelled due to my absence and now reinstated. Please help fund this donation once again. Thank you for your help.
