The rate of spectrum disorders, syndromes and disabilities is rising. There have been no ‘concrete’ links to any specific agent that can be pinpointed as a cause. It is very hard to locate schools that have the ability to treat children with special needs. Deaf children have special needs. It is amazing that underneath all of the high tech devices and innovative technology sign language is the easiest language to learn for children! Sign language can be taught to children even before than begin to ‘speak’. Fine motor skills in the mouth and tongue develop later than hand and arm motor function. Therefore, sign language is much easier to ‘speak’ for babies than English, or any other ‘spoken language’.
Northern California has a myriad of programs and organizations that are dedicated to help children with disabilities. The California School for the Deaf is located in Fremont, Ca. This school is dedicated to bridging the achievement gap for deaf kids. Sign language is new ‘fad’ for hearing and deaf babies. But far beyond sign language classes the school teaches children to think for themselves.
It is important to keep in mind the family as a whole and not just the supportive actors. The wonderful landscape of Fremont also offers many kid friendly activities . Forests, parks, aquariums and local play groups provide a great opportunity to bond with your child and connect with supportive peers. Stay local or venture out into the neighboring communities and national parks. It is easy to find a place to sleep in one of the local hotels in Fremont.
All in all, it is important that the quality of life for all children remain at a certain standard, with or without disabilities. The School for deaf in Northern California is dedicated to making sure that children can reach that standard on their own. Empowering communities, families and clients alike.
