Beyond Silence
The theme for this year's Deaf Awareness Week is "Beyond Silence". It encourages a deeper appreciation of the diverse communication methods employed by Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, including British Sign Language (BSL), lip-reading, written communication, and assistive technologies.
It also brings attention to the social, cultural, and professional barriers that many in the Deaf community face, advocating for improved accessibility, inclusivity, and equal opportunities.
