Abstract
Learning the names of the surrounding objects like table, ball, cat etc. by the
deaf and dumb children of age group of 3 to 10 years is a difficult task as compared to the
normal children. These children have disability in hearing and therefore they cannot
speak. Making them understand about the things around them under such condition
becomes a challenge for the family who owe such child. A blind child, though, equally
challenged, has only one disability. But the Deaf and the dumb child have the two, which
puts the society at large in a challenging state to give them a status to live like a normal
child. To really understand their feelings, one has to be like them for a moment.
Educating the Deaf and Dumb (D&D) child is again more challenging because the normal
method of teaching no longer works. Present work intends to implement Information
Technology (IT) to build and support the teaching and learning process by incorporating
graphics, animations and videos. An evaluation method helps to ascertain the level of
understanding by a child.
