There is 34 million deaf children around the world the majority of them live
in developing countries.
The lack of communication between
deaf children and the rest of their society leads to their suffering and
frustration and in many places preventing them from having decent and equal
education opportunities.
Children with hearing impairment
are often misunderstood and experience judgment towards them, leading to the
feelings of abandons and loneliness.
Sign Heroes is a board game that the deaf
child can use to teach a hearing person Sign language in a fun and easy way.
In this way the game is a common
ground to communicate.
Another aim of the game is to
create empathy and using game design to overcome communication challenges in an
effective way whilst making learning Sign Language easy, fun and cheap and to
open up a whole world to both deaf and hearing children alike.
Sign heroes is a game that was developed by the
help of Deaf people to help deaf children.
It is Fun, Engaging, Affordable, Simple and universal.
Sign heroes took two years of development
engaging people with hearing impairment in the design process.
We are looking forward to make it
available to deaf children around the world hoping the game makes the world a
better place for them.
