BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The majority of the Deaf students come from families who live below the poverty level. Most of their parents are housekeepers and public transport drivers. There are a few who come from outside Ozamiz. Most of them are older than the required age of a particular year level because they started schooling late. Their ages range from 7 to 24 years old. They have poor socialization with the hearing people because they are most often teased. They prefer to be with their own deaf friends with whom they feel comfortable to talk to through sign language. Most of their family members don’t know sign language and so misunderstandings mostly happened. These people can go to public places independently and can run errands for themselves. They are responsible individuals too. They can manage on their own.
