Imagine being passed over for a job before you even get a chance.

This is something Deaf/HH people often experience. Please don’t assume communication will be a problem. There are many ways to communicate.

Sometimes extra steps or accommodations may be needed, but don’t let that scare you away. Give everyone a fair chance to show what they can do!

Did you know there is a Deaf flag? It was created by DeafBlind French artist Arnaud Balard. The flag was officially recognized by the World Federation of the Deaf in 2023. Pretty awesome!
