It is critical for everyone to be informed of the important guidelines that we need to follow when there is a global pandemic and it is a life and death situation.

Unfortunately, d/Deaf people are not informed as adequately as they should be.

Even though there are government guidelines to be followed when they do their live emergency broadcasting, deaf/Deaf sign language users tend to be forgotten about.

Hence why the hashtag #WhereIsTheInterpreter, originally started by Lynn Stewart-Taylor, has been trending in the UK to do something about this.

Post image with title: 'How to Make a Deaf Person Feel Included?'

For most, if not all d/Deaf and hard of hearing people, social events can be an awkward one and a difficult one at the same time.

If everyone is talking and the environment is not right, then it’s very easy to feel secluded and left alone.

'Stop Language Deprivation & Encourage Language Acquisition for Deaf Children' with Kimberly Sanzo from Language First

In this episode, I got chatting Kimberly Sanzo of Language First who has an incredible insight in the world of language deprivation that d/Deaf children can go through and the importance of having the right environment to encourage language acquisition.
