Country Costa Rica Cuba If yes, what types of service are provided specifically for the Deaf Community by your country’s government?

Social Assistance from the Ministry of Labour and Social Security El Salvador Education, Oral Rehabilitation, Health Honduras Mexico Nicaragua Panama Deaf Schools and University Facilities for Deaf Students, Hospitals, Scholarships for Deaf Students and Interpreting Service for the Courts The Ministry of Health gives hearing aids to Deaf people; the Ministry of Education provides workshops for teachers of both Deaf and hearing children to develop more professional and specialist knowledge about Deaf children. The government supports Deaf people with a small monthly disability pension and other programmes of support for Deaf people. Only Primary Education is given. In the schools special education is the same as regular education via inclusive education. Optical, Hearing Aids, Scholarships for Deaf Students and Financial Assistance Please note: Suriname is unable to provide sufficient information. What is the general opinion of the current service(s) specifically provided for the Deaf Community by your country’s government? 1. The Government needs more sensitivity because they don’t consult with us about Deaf projects 2. More attention must be given to funding the necessary services for Deaf people 3. The Government/State is very bureaucratic 4. Deaf people need more information how to lobby Government to support Deaf services Favourable, as the social gains achieved in the field of disability are due to the systematic application of unique social politics with the State as principal; this guarantees enforcement through the co-ordination of the actions of various agencies and institutions, which are important resources. In education, there is a need for better qualifications, more development in LESSA for the teachers, more learning concepts for the students, more respect for the communication of Deaf people and also need for a better environment and the right educational materials. In the health area, although we have accessibility at the same time we need more interpreters because too many Deaf access this with members of their family. Average Average It is very limited because the possibility for Deaf people to attend High School with interpreting services only exists because of demand from the Deaf community and it actually benefits only about 52 Deaf students in a school in the capital city. ANSNIC liaises with the Ministry of Education and other important institutions such as the police (civil, tribunal and penal services), to ensure Deaf people can get free interpreting services. Average The Project was under the auspices of the Swedish National Association of the Deaf (SDR) and the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD), Page No 53 and funded by the Swedish Agency for International Development Cooperation (Sida) and Swedish Organisations’ of Disabled Persons International Aid Association (Shia).
