For deaf children in Pakistan, school is life

At the school operated by the charity Deaf Reachin Pakistan, students are taught sign language in both English and Urdu before advancing to the national curriculum. Each individual is assigned a sign name, often reflective of a physical attribute.

Younger students are instructed using visual aid, associating words and signs with corresponding images. Their classmates signal a wrong answer with a thumbs-down gesture and express approval with the applause sign—twisting their hands—for a correct response.Top of Form
