Deaf awareness: promoting communication and social inclusion

Deaf awareness: promoting communication and social inclusion
Editorial

Pages: 25 - 25

Article topics: Deaf awareness, Social inclusion

Being raised by my grandparents who were both profoundly deaf meant learning to sign from around three years of age in order to communicate. As I grew up, I realised how important it was to raise awareness in relation to deafness — the potential barriers deaf people can face, and the positive aspects of being able to communicate effectively with people with hearing loss.
