Parent-Deaf Child Encounter 2011

   This annual session aims to guide parents of deaf / hard of hearing children to thrive in a predictable environment. Routines and schedules carried out with consistency provide stability and security. This is also true with parenting behavior – consistent messages and consistent, reasonable consequences result in a child who trusts his/her parents. And it can be especially important for some deaf / hard of hearing children who have limited communication skills. The objectives of this session:

To identify strategies for enhancing the parent/child relationship and raising self-disciplined and responsible adults;  To help parents organize a plan to communicate with each other that will give them access to information;  To sort out some issues and concerns so as to come up with a feasible advice as answers to different home situations arise.

The Mainstreamed Program: An Orientation

After the 12-day Filipino Sign Language session participated by 8 faculty and staff of LSGH-ANHS, an expectation, requested, from the participants turned into a group and individual projects. As the Batch 1 think of how we can impart new found insights on the training, the group realized that the community of ANHS both hearing and deaf should undergo an orientation about the Mainstreamed System for the Deaf. It is aimed in providing a proper orientation to Deafness and Hearing culture and to raise awareness of the ANHS community on its diverse culture. This orientation session hopes to change social negative attitudes about deafness, deaf and hearing people which will result in a smooth classroom operations, provision of more mainstreamed activities and a genuine understanding of each others culture in the ANHS.

We will be giving you a schedule about them in the near future. We also want to write about our Deaf program here at school.
Stay tuned because we will be posting articles and tips on communicating and/or teaching Deaf students. We will also post pictures of our activities that promote Deaf awareness.
