| Special
education for deaf and mute
children is a complex field
for volunteers and requires
special talents and interests.
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 may include
helping to improve or develop
the communication level of the
children. You will primarily
adopt communication techniques
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.
All volunteers
in this field must use sign
language to provide the primary
students an opportunity to learn
it and to help them feel more
confident with themselves and
their ability to communicate
with others. In addition, you
will also be involved in other
curricular and extra-curricular
activities such as games, painting,
and dancing.
