- Ainara Berrueta, from Etxalar, is 10 years old and is deaf at birth. Landagain's parent group goes to school and has launched workshops to learn sign language. The success has been great, neighbors want to learn how to better communicate with Ainara. "Diversity is a nice word, but it needs to be put into practice," he added.
Although implants have a bit of hearing, Ainara Berrueta has limitations in this respect, which is why sign language and lip reading are important in their communication. Landagain's peers adapt to understand each other, but the people's neighbors have also wanted to learn how to communicate through gestures, and that's why the parent group's initiative has been successful: The workshop, in which 50 people participate, has been closed due to lack of space for todos.El report we have read in the Diario de Navarra.
Thanks to a speech therapist, citizens learn the basic signs to communicate emotions, colors or places, to express what they need day to day.
Effect of the kiss
The pandemic has shown us how important communication is, and if people who have good hearing with kissing can have trouble understanding, imagine. The arrival of the mask has been hard for those who need to read their lips and their expressions. This has been explained by Landagain's parents. This awareness has also prompted them, in part, to organize these workshops.
Ainara Berrueta is the only one? A deaf from Etxalar. In view of the answer that the initiative has had, the parents have pointed out to Diario de Navarra that they feel arropated.
