September celebrates the Deaf community! It is a time to celebrate the triumphs within the Deaf community, bring awareness to the barriers Deaf individuals face, and work towards removing them.  September is an opportunity to encourage inclusivity, promote sign language education, engage, learn, and grow.  Below are three simple ways that you can celebrate this important month…

• Learn more about American Sign Language – watch videos, look for movies, plays, and other media.
• Attend local events that celebrate Deaf culture.
• Patronize local businesses or venues that are owned by Deaf individuals.
