Deaf Awareness Week is Coming: September 21-27, 2009

The last full week in September has been designated Deaf Awareness Week (known in some circles of the deaf community as the International Week of the Deaf.) It is a time to put a spotlight on the many members of the deaf community, highlight their tremendous contributions and accomplishments, and focus the attention on the issues and challenges facing the deaf.

During this week, many deaf organizations, hold activities on international, national and local levels to celebrate the deaf community and educate the hearing community about deaf-related topics. Readers of this blog are encouraged to check with their local deaf organizations about events in their area. We will update this blog with specific event details as the date draws closer.
