Welcome to the awardee video of Institute for Disabilities Research and Training, a winner of the 2018 Zero Project Award on Accessibility.

The Institute for Disabilities Research and Training, Inc. (IDRT) – a U.S. small business based in Wheaton, Maryland – has launched a project called “All Children Reading” designed to provide access to education for deaf children throughout Morocco. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has funded the project for three years with additional support from other organizations. It includes documentation of Moroccan Sign Language (MSL), development of assistive software, creation of an Early Grade Reading and Sign Language Assessment for young deaf children, and teacher training. The pilot phase during 2016 has targeted 200 deaf children nationwide.
