Description
This session will provide a deeper insight into communication barriers in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. When people with hearing loss experience a communication barrier in their career, education, and family upbringing, it leads to language deprivation. When language deprivation occurs, we can see situational and economic dispowerment along with audist attitudes toward the culturally marginalized group which is the deaf and hard of hearing people. This session will highlight the importance of being aware of explicit and implicit biases and promote inclusivity. As a famous deaf actress and activist, Marlle Matlin quoted, "I hope I can inspire people who can hear. Hearing people have the ability to remove barriers that prevent deaf people from achieving their dream." During this session, it is my goal to inspire all and recognize our ability to become an ally together to dismantle the communication barriers that people who cannot hear endure every day.
