Deaf Preschoolers Get New Start

EVGENY LEVICH

IZRACHI
TOURS TO

By EPHRAT ARAD
JERUSALEM—Scores of
deaf Arab children, from Is-
rael and the administered
territories, are being taught
in MICHA (Instruction for
Deaf Children) centers, in
preparation for ordinary life
experience. They are being
treated along with hundreds
of Jewish children, but in
Arabic.
The children come to the
advice and guidance cen-
ter with their parents, once
or twice a week, and are
given individual instruction
by a special teacher. The
treatment is given to chil-
dren of a few months to
seven years.
In the first stages, this is
done at the centers them-
selves, but in later stages
(kindergarten or school), the
tendency is to intergrate the
deaf children into the social
and educational framework

of the school for normal chil-
dren. They are given com-
plementary instruction by a
MICHA instructor.
The ultimate aim of the
treatment for the preschool
age children is to develop in
the child the possibility of
spontaneous speech and the
ability to read lips. This en-
ables the deaf child to be-
come part of the ordinary
children's group s. Along
with this program, MICHA
maintains evening courses
for parent education, con-
sisting of 12 to 14 session.
In 1970, 21 children under-
went the instruction cycle in
the Tel Aviv MICHA center,
of whom seven were assigned
to regular classes (with
audient children) and 14 to
special class units.
The MICHA center, for-
merly inadequately housed in
the heart of the city, has now
moved to its recently com-
pleted building in Ramat
Aviv in the north. It is hoped
that the building will be dedi-
cated in time for the 19'73-74
school year.

She quoted statistics that
40 per cent of American Jew-
ish college students married
out of their faith and asked
"is it for this kind of develop-
ment that so many people
laid down their lives."

"She said "I ask you what
will happen in a generation
or two. What will be the out-
come of their children, for
whom have we built our
state — surely not just for
the 700,000 Jews in Israel
when it was founded through
the 1948 war?

Gaza, Sinai Teachers
Take Negev Z.Y. Class

TEL AVIV (JTA)—A spe-
cial course for high school
teachers in the Gaza Strip
and the northern Sinai has
been completed at the Negev
University in Beersheba.
The course was designed
to present modern methods
of teaching science which
emphasizes the training of
students to think creatively.
It was the first time that
male and female teachers
from the Gaza Strip and
northern Sinai had worked
side by side.
There was some difficulty
at the beginning, but the
teachers adjusted and when
a woman teacher scored the
highest grade the attitude of
her male colleagues changed.
At the end of the course
two of the teachers, who met
during the session, announc-
ed they would be married.

today's ignorance when young

what they are against."
