Happy Deaf Awareness Week! Yes, you heard that right. There is a full week dedicated to promoting and celebrating those who are Deaf and hard of hearing, their language and culture. This is celebrated by special gatherings like Silent Chats or special Deaf church services. Remember to check out your local interpreting agency, school for the Deaf or Deaf church to see what your area might be hosting. If you were waiting for a sign to get out there, here it is. (Get it, sign? Like sign language but also sign.)
