In addition, FGD with twelve 8th grade deaf students have been made. Participants (deaf students and teachers) from the two schools (Alfa and Mekenissa Schools for the Deaf) were included to cross-check against the data from the participants of the deaf associations and to include the view and experience of the beneficiaries. Based on the leading questions and the data from the participants seven themes related to views on inclusive education for the deaf and one theme that related to the contributions of deaf associations for deaf inclusion were identified.
