What We Do

Talking Hands Preschool

A state-of-the-art learning center that provides premier education to both Deaf and hearing young students. At Talking Hands Preschool, teachers communicate to children through sign language and use modern tools (such as tablets, computers, and educational software) alongside traditional educational tools for learning. To better equip the students as they reach for higher levels of education, other needs such as uniforms, shoes, and school supplies are also provided to them. A Deaf Parent Support Group also meets regularly for seminars and workshops to boost their children’s learning.

Ear Care Program

A program that focuses on ear health. Deaf children and youth are provided with extensive ear health solutions. Each individual receives assessments for early detection of ear health problems such as injuries and infections. Hearing aids and aftercare are then regularly replaced and provided. Orientations and seminars on ear health and hygiene are attended by both the child and the parent to ensure that their ears and their hearing aids are always in good condition.

Medical Program

Our Deaf students’ well being is our top priority. That is why we partner with medical support groups who provide annual checkups, vaccines and other medical aid.

Dental Program

Did you know that oral health affects ear health as well? According to experts, poor oral health increases the risk to the development or worsening of hearing loss. For their dental care, we provide our Deaf checkups, oral prophylaxis and remove tooth extractions regularly.

Better Vision

Other than conducting ear examinations and treatments, Talking Hands also provide the Deaf eye care such as eye examinations, providing eyeglasses, visual therapy and other eye health solutions to ensure comfort in learning.

Science Technology English Math (STEM)

Our Deaf preschool has a STEM curriculum which focuses on subjects that are timely and significant in this era of technology and globalization. Apart from the traditional lessons such as Science, English and Math, our students learn from advanced learning softwares through the school’s tablet and computers.

CSAP (Child Sexual Abuse Prevention)

Our goal for this program is to empower our students to become self-aware and dawntless towards the issue by equipping them with self-defense trainings involving Muay Thai and Martial Arts, providing orientations and giving them art therapy classes. School visits are regularly done as well to spread awareness on child sexual abuse and how to prevent it. Both the Deaf and hearing children and youth are invited to join our CSAP programs.
