September is an important month in the d/Deaf community. Not only is Deaf Awareness Month celebrated, but also International Week of Deaf People from 19-25 September and World Deaf Day on 27 September.
These are occasions to celebrate the d/Deaf community, educate about deafness, and advocate for accessibility in everyday life.
We’d love to take this opportunity to encourage you to make your events this September – and all events – accessible! CLICK HERE to find out how.
