What is InSigns USA?
It is an educational platform that takes advantage of information and communication technologies to offer children who are deaf visual tools that make it easier for them to learn to read and write.
What does InSigns USA want to solve?
For persons who are deaf, illiteracy prevents access to the fields of culture that can only be explored through the use of written materials. It makes knowledge of history and advances in science, technology, humanities, literature, the arts in general, as well as what is happening in the world, almost inaccessible, becoming dependent on sign language interpreters.
The inability to understand written information also limits their possibilities of communication with listeners, reduces their work horizons, constrains their quality of life and makes it difficult for them to integrate into their community to enjoy their rights as a person and a citizen.
That is why the InSigns USA platform seeks to offer children who are deaf the possibility of becoming literate, through visual tools and the use of new information and communication technologies.
