Deafax

Deafax The Deafax Trust is the only organisation in the UK dedicated to the education, training, research and development of ICT for deaf children.

Deafax is training teachers of the deaf to maximise the benefits of ICT as a teaching tool. This has evolved into a number of training programmes which are now available to share with deaf children and educators internationally.

Comic Relief are funding a programme to improve the communication skills, literacy and employment prospects for deaf people in The Gambia.

As a first step, Deafax staff have visited the Gambia Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (GADHOH) to set up the personal computer that has been obtained with the funds and to offer training in Gambia and the UK to GADHOH staff.
