Deaf Awareness Week takes place between the 6th to the 12th of May. Let us take this time to celebrate our deaf community, raise awareness, and spread inclusivity! Here are A2i's top three tips for Deaf Awareness Week: 1. Find out communication preferences. Before your expected meeting, learn the individual's requirements and their preferred communication support. 2. Get the individual's attention before you speak. Try move into good lighting so they can see you, wave your hand in their line of vision, or lightly tap their shoulder. 3. Always face the individual. Communicate face-to-face and keep eye contact. This will help the person lip read and see your facial expressions if they need to. Learn more tips from our blog https://lnkd.in/e8Q2uih5 #DeafAwarenessWeek #DiversityInclusion #a11y #bsl

✋ Trusted Marketing Support For Deaf & Hard of Hearing Business Owners ✋ Proud To Work Side By Side With The Deaf Community ✋ 30 Plus Years In Marketing
This week is Deaf Awareness Week. I am lucky to work with Deaf business owners on (the marketing-side). Here are just three important things to remember when you meet a Deaf person. 1. Don’t be frightened (sadly my Deaf friends/colleagues say this still come across this) 2. Look at them and not the interpreter (who’s there for you, not them). 3. Speak normally. There are lots of other Deaf Awareness tips I haven’t shared. There is a wealth of talent in the Deaf community. Communication shouldn’t and mustn’t be a barrier. - Behind me are just of the organisations my Deaf clients are working with. #DeafAwarenessWeek #DeafAwareness

🤟 Celebrate Deaf Awareness Week with us! 🤟 Throughout this week, we’ll be sharing tips and information around how you can become more aware about the Deaf community and build a more inclusive society! 💫 💬 Tip 1: Communication is key to human connection. To foster inclusivity and empathy, it's vital to communicate effectively with Deaf individuals. Here are some powerful tips: • Try and find out the deaf person’s preferred method of communication – every person has different preferences and needs. • Wave to make eye contact and keep your face and mouth clearly visible. • Repeat once or twice – if the person still doesn’t understand, try rephrasing. • Use clear speech, mime and gesture. #DeafAwarenessWeek #DeafCommunity #SignVideo
