Integrating Deaf Culture Into Family Life and Professional Awareness
An individual who lives and works in the Deaf community along with a hearing professional in the field will co-lead this session. The intent is to highlight aspects of living in Deafness that are informative and potentially helpful to all parents, regardless of their choice for communication access. The dialogue will emphasize features of Deafness that promote a positive and productive outlook on life. Specific examples will be shared by the presenters, who have experience living in families where lessons about Deafness continue to be learned by Deaf and hearing members alike.
- Demonstrate different support strategies for communication access. List aspects of Deaf culture and what impact it has on society. Discuss how a full awareness of the Deaf “world” can help professionals work with families and parents work with their children.
