Let’s talk about the everyday things that actually make a difference for Deaf and Hard of Hearing people.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, family member, or friend — this list is for you. These may not be the tips you’ll hear in the audiology office... but they’re ones we live by.
💜 Ask instead of assume.
💜 Include instead of overlook.
💜 Choose respectful language over outdated terms.
And parents — if you're new to this journey, I know it can feel overwhelming. But guess what? You're already doing the most important thing: learning how to show up for your child in a way that’s informed, empowered, and full of love.
Let's make this month about more than awareness. Let’s make it about action, respect, and seeing the DHH community as the powerful, diverse, and vibrant group it truly is.
