Deaf Awareness Month (US)

September marks Deaf Awareness Month (US), a time dedicated to increasing awareness of the communication needs and unique identities of the deaf and hard of hearing community, which makes up roughly 13% of the US population. This month focuses on celebrating the positive aspects of deafness, promoting social inclusion, and acknowledging the valuable work of supportive organisations. 

Deaf Awareness Month is a great time to get involved. Learn more about Deaf culture and sign language through online classes or local events. Support businesses and organisations that promote accessibility, or volunteer with groups advocating for the Deaf community. Even small actions, like using inclusive language or sharing information on social media, can help create a more inclusive society. Let’s take this opportunity to celebrate and appreciate Deaf culture.
