History of Deaf Education in New Zealand
Since its inception in 1880, Deaf Education in New Zealand has seen enormous changes; from a strictly oral approach that endured for almost a century, to now, when all languages are viable. 2020 marked a major milestone with the Kelston and Van Asch Deaf Education Centres combining to become one national provider.
