NDCS. (2005, February 14). Samoa Empowerment for Children who are deaf and their families. The Loto Taumafai Society for the disabled will develop a home-based support programme for deaf children and their families in five districts on the two largest islands of Samoa. The project will recruit and train field workers who will make weekly visits to 40 individual families. Two parent support groups will also be established to further lobbying activities. The expected outcome is that the inclusion of deaf children in their communities (eg preschools, schools, churches, self-help groups) will be increased. It is also hoped that the government would take responsiblity for the support programme after the SGP funding has finished.
