The Deaf Community

The Deaf Community is a group of individuals who primarily communicate through sign language rather than spoken language due to varying degrees of hearing loss. This community values Deaf culture, which includes shared experiences, traditions, and a unique identity that emphasizes visual communication and the use of sign languages, such as American Sign Language (ASL). Members often advocate for accessibility, awareness, and recognition of Deaf rights. The community fosters a sense of belonging, celebrating differences while promoting understanding between Deaf and hearing individuals. Embracing Deaf culture enriches society as a whole, highlighting diverse ways of communication and connection.
