The teaching staff
A mother of three, 42-year old Nalani Ranawaka said her four-year old daughter Nirmali is deaf by birth. Nalani had consulted specialist doctors to seek treatment for Nirmali’s hearing impairment but could not get it cured completely. Some doctors have said that it cannot be cured completely, but to a certain extent with proper treatment.
This is a very pathetic story of a mother whose youngest daughter, four-year old is deaf from birth. She is partially deaf which means she could hear a little. One doctor had told her this would not hamper her education and advised the parents to enrol her at a special school where differently abled children study.
When Sunday Observer met Nalani Ranawaka at a school function in Colombo last week she related the story of her daughter Nirmali. We do not know whether some other parents are suffering like Nalini.
There are not only deaf children in our society but also many with various deformities. Some are blind while others are mentally or physically handicapped.
