Our Mission
What We Stand For
PADC seeks to empower every deaf child and the mother with the necessary tools and skills required in learning language. To a common man, deafness means just an inability to hear the sounds. But the effect of deafness is much more severe than that of other disabilities in respect of language acquisition, speech and knowledge and proper communication. The inability of the child to hear significantly impacts the child’s ability to speak and and communicate with the world. At PADC, we work actively to ensure that a child learns to communicate well despite the disability.

Currently, 100 mothers along with their children are undergoing training with the numbers increasing day by day.
We welcome all
Languages
This is a unique school where the mother attends the school along with her child. Mothers and children from various parts of Karnataka, Delhi, Assam, Kerala, Bihar, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and other parts of India are undergoing training in aural/oral method in Institute of Mother and Deaf Child. Emphasis in the school is given to the mother-tongue of the child, the rationale being that the mother will be fluent in her own language and can talk continuously, cohesively and fluently without any hesitation in any situation to the child. At present, the training at the school is being imparted in Kannada, Telugu, Hindi and English.
Infrastructure
Hostel facilities
At present the school has 26 hostel rooms. Each room accommodates the mother and the child. Each room has an attached bath room and facility for storage and cooking. The rooms have been provided with a cot and fan. These rooms are given subject to availability on a first arrive and first served basis. Normally the mother and the child from the distant parts of the country stay for 3 years and above in this accommodation. However, most of the mothers rent apartments and stay close to the school.
