Providing welfare services for the deaf
- Improving social services for the deaf
Description
Providing welfare services for the deaf involves establishing accessible support systems that address communication barriers, educational needs, and social inclusion. This strategy ensures the availability of sign language interpretation, specialized education, vocational training, and healthcare tailored to the deaf community. By facilitating equal opportunities and removing obstacles to participation, these services remedy isolation, unemployment, and limited access to essential resources, thereby promoting autonomy and improving the overall quality of life for deaf individuals.
Implementation
A payphone for the deaf and speech-impaired allows caller to send and receive typed messages. It has been put on trial by British Telecom at six different sites.
