Let’s talk about EQUAL ACCESS

Mainstream media hyped up the fact that we would have ASL performers covering the entire halftime show for the first time in Super Bowl history.
This is what the Deaf community had to do to see the ASL performers.
We need hearing allies to help advocate for our right to EQUAL access too. Help amplify our voices when we speak out on issues like this. We all deserve to enjoy the same experiences together on EQUAL ground.🤟🏼

Gaining EQUAL access to major televised events shouldn’t be so difficult. The Deaf community continues to advocate for ourselves, but dang… it’s exhausting.

Please share this infographic with your fellow educators, parents, and administrators. We must take care to provide the best education possible for ALL students. 🤟🏼
I AM DEAF ENOUGH — This is a topic I’ve been wanting to talk about for a while now, but just haven’t found the right way to put it into words. I’ve had the sketches of this cochlear implant, ear, and hearing aid drawn onto my iPad for months now, but no words to go with it.
