VERALL GOAL

MISSION

The "Three Olives" is an inclusive education school for students with hearing disabilities, a place where deaf and hearing

are given a standardized education, equality, respect and collaborative environment. Their goal is not only to allow deaf

students to reach academic standards in line with their intellectual capacity and develop social skills in an ordinary social

system (ie , mostly listener) ; It is also a project to change the perception of society towards disability , and particularly

in our case , the hearing impairment. Every community is sensitive to the elimination of potential barriers to

communication . Teachers are trained to interact at all times with students with hearing impairment and a workshop on

the " deafness " is offered to the families of students so that listeners are informed and know also communicate with

fellow deaf children. Students with hearing disabilities receive within their school hours; speech therapy sessions that

everyone needs to develop their communication skills.

school for children with hearing impairment. In 2009-2010 started high school programs in Social Sciences; Vocational
