Assistive technology and alternative communication modes can help Deaf and hard-of-hearing students gain full access to education. Institutions like schools should provide access options such as closed captions, engaging interpreters and notetakers, and alternative learning aids.
These ensures that Deaf and hard-of-hearing students have equal access to information as well as a meaningful and rich learning experience.

Arika has moderate-to-severe hearing loss and CHARGE syndrome. She faces various challenges in life and learning.
With the help of the Little Hands Bilingual Bicultural Programme, Akira has a brighter future to look forward to. Being in the programme has enabled Aikra to communicate, learn and socialise by acquiring Singapore Sign Language (SgSL). She is no longer isolated. Her interactions with teachers and peers has contributed to the development of her social-emotional and cognitive skills.
For the Chinese New Year, a time of fresh starts and well wishes to all, do not pass by the many children, youth and adults like Akira. You have the power to make a difference in their lives.
