The Center provides Basic Literacy and Communication Skills to the Deaf
Deaf Anglo Literacy Center offers literacy, mathematics, computer skills, and life skills workshops for deaf and deaf blind persons. These skills are needed for our participants to be able to participate in society
All our workshops are given in American Sign Language (ASL) by Deaf instructors in order that the participants can better understand material.
Unlike traditional schools, the instructing in the center is more flexible and adapted to the needs of our participants. Similarly, educational materials are created and adapted for deaf literacy learners.
Participants attending our workshops feel less lonely and more socially involved. They are encouraged to take part in DALC’s activities, workshops and meetings. As a result, our participants have more self-esteem and confidence.
DALC is attentive to the needs of its participants and reacts accordingly to their strength and knowledge that they already have. Our center maintains an environment that encourages and supports the exchange of knowledge between participants.
Any person who is deaf and wants to improve his/her English reading and writing skills, to master basic mathematics skills, or to learn how to use a computer and the Internet can join our literacy workshops
