Appeal
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Imagine trying to learn a lesson
in a classroom trapped inside of a clear sound-proof box. The only way you can
gather information is visually and you will be tested on what you’ve learned.
This could be anything from the basic ABC’s to complex mathematical equations.
Seems a bit unfair, doesn’t it?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Unfortunately, this is how children
with speech and hearing impairments are forced to learn. Easy access to special
schools, special educators trained in sign language, lack of appropriate
educational materials, no scope for higher education are some of the challenges
they face.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">This year, we extended Project
STEAM to students with speech and hearing impairments. For the first time,
students had their own Eureka moments as they put together their STEM models and understood concepts such as energy, elasticity and electricity. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Thank you for opening up the world of Science and its wonders to children with speech and hearing impairments.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><o:p></o:p></p>
