The School for the Deaf & Blind

Mission

To provide a professionally managed service using quality trained manpower, appropriate technology and methods, to facilitate and enable those lives that have been placed in our care.

Vision

To maintain the position as the Pioneering Institution in the country, transforming the lives of the Visual and Auditory impaired children, from being dependent individuals to responsible citizens.

As in most societies, many years ago children who were either hearing or sight impaired in Sri Lanka (then Ceylon) were neglected and marginalized and did not have opportunities in gaining any education and in fitting into society. It was in such a context that the Ceylon School for the Deaf and Blind was established in the year 1912.
