Deaf and Hard of Hearing Communities

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Communities consist of people with varying levels of hearing ability, from those who are completely deaf to those who have some hearing loss. These communities often use American Sign Language or other sign languages as their primary means of communication. They appreciate cultural identity, shared experiences, and challenges related to accessibility and communication. Inclusivity efforts aim to ensure equal opportunities and respect for linguistic and cultural differences. Recognizing this community fosters understanding, support, and improved accessibility in society.
