communication with his hands - a visit in the Münsterland school

Jasmine & Sophia Helton Firgau

Münsterland The school has a fiber optic cable (Regional Association of Westphalia-Lippe) is funding school funding priority listening and communication. Currently there are about 70 teachers and 220 pupils. In school, hearing-impaired children are taught by 5 to 14 years. On the basis of disability of children in this school besides the spoken language, the German sign language is spoken. Without exception, all teachers of this powerful way of communication, so a smooth communication between humans is possible. (Right: sign for butterfly)
students from several counties and cities every morning to be picked up by a taxi and taken to the school. Children from further away, take part, up to three hours for a walk, as this form of school in Germany, only a few times is represented. Students have the opportunity to go after attending the special school in Münsterland to secondary school. The main school is also in Münster in the Disability complex, the secondary school is in Dortmund and the school is responsible in Hamburg.

Pupils should be taught in small classes as of about six students, which must be present in each class at least two teachers. These provisions an individual funding. You can respond to the wishes and needs of children and solve potential problems quickly and effectively. The Münsterland school is also a school, can learn from the hearing children of deaf parents learn the spoken language and hearing parents with deaf children in sign language. The entire Münsterland school is housed in a handicapped school complex in Münster, on the in addition to a special school for speech and physically impaired, a building was built for the visually impaired. In early intervention in the Martin-Luther-King-kindergarten, children learn early on to learn sign language or the Lormalphabet. The Lormalphabet is a manual alphabet for deaf blind people which has been developed. On one hand letters are shown, which are joined to form one word. (Lormalphabet see right)
In the Münsterland school are only children with hearing impairment or hearing-impaired parents included, otherwise the rush of hearing Children who are learning German sign language, would be too high and their schools could no longer be guaranteed.


One morning we went spontaneously on the way to kindergarten, the school center, the Münsterland school belongs. We arrived exactly at the first big break. The children rushed out of the classroom, grabbed their jackets and welcomed us with joy, especially Jasmine, who had been here a month before her high school internship program and the children were very dear to the heart.
Jasmin had been taught me, to, sign language, "Hello, My name is Sophia to say "and it made me enjoy this then apply the same. Jasmin mastered the sign language fluently, I can not say of me, unfortunately, but still I knew a lot, because sign language is very logical and many gestures commonly used in almost all human beings. Thus, a waving hand means nothing other than a hello. agreed
With sign language you but still not quite as one might think perhaps it should. Rather, it is important to talk to also, as many deaf people as well can see from the lips and some even speaking relatively well mastered, which surprised me very much.

Even Start was played during the break, but of course not counting but with a loud show of numbers by the appropriate gestures.
We were lucky and were allowed to go to the swimming lessons. Very impressed me how happy the children in the water. especially wet spraying them made a lot of fun and I thought it was great to be able to communicate with them myself, although I do not know the sign language. But body language actually mean every person and it was funny to learn that some gestures that I even used official sign are.
course one can also see things not only positive, because it is considered that the deaf and multiple disabilities are also often excluded or can not be regarded as equivalent. Sometimes it's people without disabilities also hard to put themselves in these people and apply the necessary patience.
but I can conclude by saying that I liked the atmosphere in the Münsterland school very well, also because the teachers are generally very motivated and have a strong interest in promoting the children really individual.
