BleeBooks: Accessible Learning Books For Deaf Students

The intensity of problems faced by children during the lock-down increases manifolds for children with disabilities. Children with deafness always struggle to fit into their families due to lack of/no communication. Their only avenue for a social life is at school, with friends and teachers. The common set of problems seen in deaf kids is high anxiety, unawareness about COVID-19, victims of violence and abuse, risk of dropping out of schools, etc.

​

Parents’ helpless state of Poverty, illiteracy, lack of awareness, unavailability of resources, etc. multiplies the severity of these issues.

​

During COVID pandemic and lockdown, Bleetech has designed a new program to encourage kids to engage in learning activities from home. Bleetech’s new learning solution consists of:
