The
Ministry of Community Development, MOCD, has organised a basic level sign
language course for children between 4-12 years old.
The
gesture aimed to teach children the basics of sign language and communication
techniques.
The
“Sign Language Basics” Course for children was characterised by the
interaction of young children who showed a remarkable enthusiasm to learn their
names and some daily sentences in sign language.
The course was presented by Abeer Al Shehhi, Sign Language Expert at the Ministry, and Ayman Al Maqbali, a person of determination who has a hearing disability.
More than 60 boys and girls from all over the Emirates participated in a sign language course
