Project IDEA: International Deaf Education Association.
This paper addresses some of the difficulties of educating the deaf in third world countries. Project IDEA (International Deaf Education Association) is an exemplary program started by the Peace Corps in Bohol, Philippines. The author made an on-sight visit to this project in 1986. Additionally, two Montana State University students completed internships there in early 1988 and their detailed accounts help form the basis for this descriptive report on the newly formed Bohol deaf community and their special educational/vocational program.
