Best Practice Interventions for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children in the Kenya Juvenile Justice System
Abstract
Deafness may present unique challenges
in the justice system because no accurate,
timely account is heard or spoken.
• Kenya Sign Language (KSL) is an official
language in Kenya . (http://kenyalaw.org/kl/index.php?id=398).
• However, communication barriers still
exist in the justice system with ripple
effects on freedom of expression and
choice for litigants, victims and witnesses
with hearing disability.
