360 Degree Dental - thank you so much for welcoming the Handlab team into your practice! 🤗🦷

We truly appreciate your willingness to be part of this project and your support in making healthcare more accessible for the Deaf community. It was a wonderful experience working with you, and we’re excited to create valuable SASL learning materials that will help Deaf learners better understand and navigate dental visits.

Thank you for helping us make a difference! 💙🙌

The Handlab team continued the rollout of our Learning Management System (LMS) at Dominican School for Deaf Children as part of our pilot project.

We spent two inspiring days with teachers and Deaf assistants, exploring the platform together, sharing ideas, and gathering valuable feedback. Their insights will help us refine the LMS to better support teaching and learning in South African Sign Language (SASL).

We are excited about the progress and look forward to making the platform available soon. Thank you to everyone at Dominican School for your enthusiasm, collaboration, and support throughout the pilot!

Another LTSM order done and dusted! 🎉

Senior Phase and FET materials are on their way to VN Naik School for the Deaf (KZN), the Department of SASL and Deaf Studies at the University of the Free State, Reuben Birin School in Gqeberha, and Kutlwanong School in the North West Province.

A huge thank you for your continued support. We hope the learners find these materials educational, empowering, and fun - that's always our goal.

To explore our range of SASL teaching and learning materials, visit our website or contact us at [email protected] for orders and enquiries.

It is a privilege to support Deaf education across South Africa, one delivery at a time. 💙
