Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of education and services for deaf people in Viet Nam. The first section covers the three distinct but historically related sign languages in Viet Nam: Ha Noi Sign Language, Hai Phong Sign Language, and Ho Chi Minh City Sign Language. The second section discusses education for deaf people, which is provided in elementary schools and junior and senior high schools. Certificate programs are offered in sign language analysis, teaching, and interpretation. Few deaf learners go on to university. The third section of the chapter outlines the lack of audiological and sociocultural services for deaf people in Vietnam; either they are unavailable or too expensive for most people to afford. The chapter concludes with a summary and sets out recommendations for the future.
