Deaf culture, heritage and language is unique to Deaf and Hard of Hearing people across the globe, and this week is about valuing this uniqueness and standing up for rights to equal access to education and services. With Sign Language, Everyone is Included! No one knows this better than the students of our Sign Language program. #IWDeaf2018 #IDSL2018 #SignLanguagesDay www.eicc.edu/aei https://www.instagram.com/p/BoHbMwwnUXz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ry97kjstyo03

#ASL #SignLanguage #Repost from @humanrightswatch with @regram.app ... We’re celebrating the first ever International #SignLanguagesDay! Sign language is critical to the rights of deaf people and we’re taking this occasion to raise awareness around how people and governments all over the world can do better to make sure that deaf people can fully enjoy their rights. #Deaf people are citizens like everyone else. They have the right to vote. #SignLanguagesDay #IWDeaf2018 https://www.instagram.com/p/BoHVzgsCLgB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vp26uzcmhcuc
