‘I really want my deaf child who is 15 years of age to go to school too, just like any other normal student’
A mother in Arviat, Nunavut, says her deaf daughter has been told to stay home from school in the afternoons because of a lack of sign language interpreters.
Rochelle Suluk’s daughter Kimberly Joy Anoee is a Grade 9 student at John Arnalukjuak High School in a community of about 2,700.
At the beginning of the school year, Suluk said she met with the principal of the school who informed her about her daughter’s change in schedule.
