EEESMA provides free access to learn Mexican Sign Language and vocational/computer tech training to those who are Deaf, for all age groups. A bi-lingual model of Mexican Sign Language and written Spanish ensure that the students can thrive in an inclusive environment where they learn and progress within a community of their peers sharing their own Deaf Culture. People who are Deaf take great pride in their Deaf identity & EEESMA works to help build the added confidence they need.
There are few publicly funded centres for deaf children in the State of Guanajuato, Mexico to teach Mexican Sign Language.
Regardless of a family's economic situation, a Deaf child now has the opportunity to learn to communicate in sign language while thriving and learning within a caring community of their peers. Seven young people are now attending on-line high school while being mentored and tutored in Mexican Sign Language. All attendees are encouraged to pursue on-line high school and vocational/computer tech studies to allow them to reach their full potential.
Deaf children, Deaf youth, and their families engage, encourage and elevate themselves through participation in both the Deaf and hearing communities. Many students will not excel in high school but may instead choose to use skills they master in vocational training workshops to help find employment and create additional income for their families. Others, like Laura, may choose to attend on-line university and upon graduation return to EEESMA as an instructor of the Deaf.
