Abstract
New Zealand is actually bigger in land size than Britain but has only three million people. Outside the main centres the population is spread thinly over a relatively large area. The largest city is Auckland (Population close to 1 million people), my own city, Christchurch, has only 300,000 people. The problem in deaf education is fundamentally one of ensuring that every child, regardless of geographical location, is provided with the best possible help in all areas of development. This article represents my interpretation of how we attempted this in the past, what we are doing at the moment and what we might develop in the future.
