Hello fellow colleagues, please kindly assist with any information wrt the caption.
This special child in question is a boy, very smart and intelligent but can neither speak nor hear normally like his colleagues. He is not totally dumb but his speaking is almost not different from that of a baby trying to learn how to speak. He's only 10years old. He's very good in fields like construction and repairs according to his parents, he loves studying and carrying out repairs on faulty electronics at home as well as constructing things imaginatively.
According to his teacher, With little or no assistance, he can work on arithmetics and quantitative reasoning but finds English language and other subjects very boring and difficult due to his condition.
He is currently attending a private primary school where his parent spends huge amount of money to make him comfortable and feel good among his peers but this isn't the best approach to my own opinion. I therefore adviced the parents to quest for good technical school for deaf students where his talent can be enhanced, appreciated and a means of communication will be learnt by him rather than wasting time and money on a private school that handles him just like every other normal children.
So at this juncture, may I ask your own opinion and recommendation(s) of schools that can handle this type of case within lagos or Ogun state.
I.ll be very glad if nairalanders can show positive response to this thread as it will go a long way in the life of both the child and the parent.
Thanks
