Featuring: Mandy Puccini, Brenda Dubrowski and Ellen Jane Peterson
Mandy Puccini is 12 years old and has been deaf since the age of two. As a toddler, she'd contracted meningitis which damaged the nerves in her ears. Mandy wears hearing aids and is able to pick up some loud sounds through them, like thunder.
The Kids on the Block Program on Deafness is designed to educate about deafness, both the medical condition and the culture. Script material promotes awareness and sensitivity among hearing children, encourages appreciation of differences in each person, explores some aspects of Deaf culture and the contributions of Deaf persons, and teaches some simple signs.
The complete curriculum consists of large hand-crafted puppets,
four scripts, props,
follow-up activities and resources to teach children about deafness.
