Deaf children are studying South African Sign Language SASL. They explore SASL stories & poems. They discuss & analyse them & they create their own. Written English, Maths etc: all have improved because of their foundation in SASL. Viva SLED! #IWDP #Deafeducation #SLED #SASL

For 20 years, with the support of our funders, SLED has provided a future full of possibility for Deaf children, creating ground-breaking SA Sign Language resources & training teachers. Since the pandemic hit, we are more online, reaching more! #SASL #Deafeducation #signlanguage

On the International Day of Sign Languages, SLED celebrates the hundreds of unique, indigenous South African Sign Language poems, stories, and other SASL literature that our trailblazing creative team has developed during the last 20 years.

@TelkomZA the online system refuses to link our landline accounts? How to solve this?

[SLEDsignlanguage @sledsignlang]

WE COULDN’T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU! Our SLED team started 2020 as usual directly in the classroom with Deaf children & teachers, but then came COVID19. So we went ONLINE to ensure that teachers had the training & resources necessary for Deaf children to be assured of a future

Prof Salim Abdool Karim has instantly become our Dr Anthony Fauci.

(Tune into channel 404 now, fam. Finally the politicians are stepping back a bit and letting the main scientific brain advising Dr Mkhize, speak DIRECTLY to the public. Tune in, if you're not already doing so!)

The number of deaf assistant professors, associate professors and full professors is unprecedented in Europe. We got 8 delegates from 8 different universities in the same room to talk about the future of Deaf Studies research. We are now in the position to set agendas. #momentum
