Gabay (Guide): Strengthening Inclusive Education for Blind/Deaf Children

USAID/Philippines’ Gabay project will improve education and literacy outcomes by improving the detection, instruction and support for blind, deaf or deaf-blind children in the Philippines. STS will specifically support RBI to measure their second intermediate result of improving the quality of educational services for children with vision and hearing impairments. STS will design, pilot, and oversee the baseline and endline administration of an early grade reading and sign language assessment for kindergarten to Grade 3 learners who are deaf or hard of hearing. Additionally, STS will design a school needs assessment that will be implemented by RBI, with the purpose of identifying focus areas for the Gabay project.
