Deaf Anglo Literacy Center

Deaf Anglo Literacy Center offers literacy courses in English, mathematics, computer skills, and life skills for deaf and deaf blind. Because they can help to succeed at work, in personal life and in the community, these skills are very useful in the every day lives of Deaf people.

All our courses and workshops are given in American Sign Language (ASL) by Deaf instructors in order that the participants can better understand course material.

Unlike traditional schools, the instructing in the center is more flexible and adapted to the needs of deaf participants. Similarly, training and educational materials are created and adapted for deaf literacy learners.

Participants attending our classes feel less lonely and more socially involved. They are encouraged to take part in DALC’s activities, workshops and meetings. As a result, our participants have more self confidence and self-esteem.

                Our Objectives
• Offer literacy courses for the Deaf   and    Deaf Blind Anglophones
• Facilitate the independence of the   Deaf and Deaf Blind in society by   improving their skills in Reading,   Writing and Arithmetic
• Adapt appropriate teaching   materials    for the deaf and deaf   blind
• Prevent the illiteracy
• Defend the right and interests of   deaf    and deaf blind people with   literacy    problems

DALC is attentive to the needs of its participants and reacts accordingly to their strength and knowledge that they already have. Our center maintains an environment that encourages and supports the exchange of knowledge between participants

Any person who is deaf and wants to improve his/her English reading and writing skills, to master basic mathematics skills, or to learn how to use a computer and the Internet can join our literacy workshops.

Leaving home to attend Deaf Anglo Literacy Center is a great way to learn new things and meet new friends!

All our workshops are free and open to anyone!
