Raising the 'Deaf Flag' at Deaf Village Ireland in honor of National ISL Day! 🚩 This symbolic act represents our resilience, unity, and celebration of Irish Sign Language. 🤟💙 #ISLDay #DeafCulture #RaiseTheFlag #nationalislday #blueforisl

Happy National ISL Day!
It’s crucial to acknowledge the impact of language recognition. For members of the deaf community, ISL is not just a means of communication but also an essential part of their identity and culture thereby recognising the rights and dignity of deaf people.

Our theme for anti bullying week is "All different all Equal" wearing odd socks represents what makes us different to others. Students will be asked to reflect on two differences that they are proud of.
Pride is a powerful armour against bullies.

This evening’s #DCUGraduation ceremony saw the first people ever to graduate with the B.Ed through the Irish Sign Language. This clip shows the audience signing their applause for Kevin Dudley, Aimee Ennis McLoughlin & Aisling O’Halloran as they walked across the stage. @dcu_ioe

[Holy Family School for the Deaf @HFSchoolDeaf1]

Yesterday was a very proud day for the Deaf Community. Aimee, Kevin and Aisling became the first deaf teachers to qualified as primary teachers in @DCU. Special thanks to @dcu_incl_spe, especially Dr Elizabeth Matthews and her team for changing the system and making dreams come

The handshape books are almost gone!

Buy it while stocks last!

The handshape means 'I love you' in Irish Sign Language book. Can you find it?

Please note that there are two pages that the handshape is unfortunately impossible to find on those 1/2

I thought I was past feeling upset about explaining my disability to people but some days it doesn’t feel easier. I use a wheelchair some days. Some days I don’t. It’s complicated, but also it’s not—it’s a tool, I use it when it’s helpful to me. Disability pride isn’t linear.
