Based on 12 respondents<br />
Please note: One member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Regional Working Group, from Guatemala, stated that her country’s government is not<br />
responsible to manage schools for <strong>Deaf</strong> children; however <strong>the</strong>re are schools for <strong>Deaf</strong> children managed by private<br />
institutions. Some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> answers received via <strong>the</strong> survey changed because <strong>the</strong> Regional Working Group knew factual<br />
information about schools for <strong>Deaf</strong> children in <strong>the</strong> WFD MCAC Region.<br />
The WFD MCAC Regional Director visited <strong>the</strong> Dominican Republic where he was hoping to obtain information on educational<br />
settings; unfortunately he was unable to do so <strong>the</strong>refore all information for <strong>the</strong> Dominican Republic is recorded as Unknown.<br />
The Project was under <strong>the</strong> auspices <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Swedish National Association <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Deaf</strong> (SDR) and <strong>the</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Federation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Deaf</strong> (WFD), <strong>Page</strong> <strong>No</strong> 64<br />
and funded by <strong>the</strong> Swedish Agency for International Development Cooperation (Sida) and Swedish Organisations’ <strong>of</strong> Disabled Persons<br />
International Aid Association (Shia).
