What do we do?
At the HLID we deliver a comprehensive range of services to create optimal living conditions and develop and increase the individual abilities of the children in our care.
We do this by:
- Providing education to over 140 deaf children. Without our school the majority of these children would have no opportunity for education.
- Offering a loving home in the boarding house where children can develop fully as young people.
- Providing vocational training for an average of 40 students.
- Caring 24 hours a day for one of the most ignored and neglected groups of people - deaf-blind children.
- Providing much needed audiological services for the poorer part of the population.
- Starting outreach programmes for children with hearing and speech disabilities. The entire network of institutions has already reached thousands of children with various disabilities.
- Training hearing, deaf and disabled teachers and technicians
- Developing teaching materials in Arabic and in Jordanian sign language.
