EDUPLEX Audiology

Making a difference in deaf education

The secret of our success is that when a deaf child finishes school at EDUPLEX they speak fluently, are not dependent on sign language interpreters and they can follow any career of their choice like their normally hearing friends.

Speech-language therapists and audiologists

Our 7 full-time speech-language therapists and audiologists not only support the 70 deaf children but also have their own private sessions which allows the parents to continue with the programme at home - one of the pillars of Eduplex's success. Eduplex has more than 100 children, of whom 70 are deaf and more than 50% of these deaf children are dependent on financial support.

At Eduplex, hearing aids and cochlear implants are used optimally to ensure that all our deaf children have the best access to sound, speech, and language, to improve learning and achieve academic excellence. Eduplex has the largest installation of classroom amplification systems in the world, enabling both the deaf and normally hearing children to hear and understand irrespective of the background noise or where they are seated in the classroom. These systems contribute significantly to classroom discipline.

At the Eduplex Audiology Centre we offer:

  • Parent Guidanceforms an integral part of the programme. Parents become partners with the professionals and, in the case of deaf children, regular sessions of parent guidance are offered to the family in our the specially-equipped Parent Guidance Facility.
  • Audiological and Medical SupportAudiological support at the EDUPLEX is provided by a team of audiologists that follow evidence-based practice.
  • TrainingEDUPLEX is not only an educational programme for children and their parents, but also a training facility for professionals (teachers, audiologists / speech and hearing therapists) from around the world, for the education of deaf children in a mainstream school.

Professionals from 49 countries
have been trained in our approach to inclusive education to date.

Many of the deaf children at EDUPLEX are only able to attend because of bursaries generously provided by donors and sponsors. Your support helps open doors to a world of sound and education, giving these children the life-changing gift of hearing. Every contribution—whether through donations, sponsorships, or other forms of giving—makes it possible for more young lives to be transformed.
