On Racism & Language Deprivation

Written By DEAF COUNSELING CENTER on Friday, May 26, 2023 | 03:13 PM

 
Language deprivation hurts Deaf people greatly. The impact of not having full access to language through childhood has lifelong repercussions. Not often discussed is the double impact of language deprivation and racism, and the critical importance of BlackDeaf role models.
