Description: Special Education for deaf and mute children is a complex field of volunteering requiring special talents and interest. However, this Volunteer Honduras project allows you to play a crucial role in the lives of deaf and mute children. Your tasks in this project would be to help improve or develop the communication level of the children. You will mostly adopt communication options such as auditory-verbal, bilingual-bicultural, cued speech, oral method, acoustic method, Rochester method, speech reading (lip-reading), manual sign languages (PSE, ASL, Signed English, Signing Exact English), sign supported speech (simultaneous communication) and total communication while working with them.

All volunteers in this field need to use sign language to provide the primary students an opportunity to learn it and help them feel more confident with themselves and their ability to communicate with other people. In addition, you will also be involved in other curricular and extra-curricular activities such as games, painting, dancing and so on.
