Purpose of the LCD The purpose of the “Learning Center for the Deaf” is to provide a quality program to respond to the urgent needs of deaf persons in Lebanon, i.e., physical, emotional, intellectual, and social. However, the Center’s primary objective is educational with specific emphasis on children and young adults. Mission of the LCD The Association of the Learning Center for the Deaf (LCD) is a non-profit, non-political, and non-secretarial Association, located in Baabda-Brasilia, Lebanon. It aims at supporting deaf children and their families by empowering them. The best way to empower the deaf individuals is through education. Therefore our Association initiated challenging services and programs which were not available in the country, in order to complement the existing programs and provide better possibilities and opportunities for the deaf and their family members. The main two programs at the LCD are the High School Program and the Early Intervention Program. The first program is unique, aims at giving the possibility of providing choices to the deaf young people, as much as their hearing peers, since their handicap does not stop them from reaching Baccalaureate (High School) and then university if it is their choice. The latter program, which is the Early Intervention Program, is a comprehensive program, with its components, prior to the school age, a stepping stone, which empowers the family and provides habilitation/rehabilitation services for the deaf children and their family members. This stepping stone will determine the quality of the future of many deaf children. For the details of the LCD’s programs and activities, please go to the website: www.lcd-lebanon.org .
