In honour of International Week of the Deaf and International Day of Sign Languages, RHF has worked with our friends at Wavefront Centre for Communication Accessibility to put together this list of helpful signs.
Many people who are deaf or hard of hearing rely on lip-reading or non-verbal cues to help connect with others, and masks have made it especially hard to communicate. But what about connecting with Deaf and hard of hearing people in your community? Having an ASL interpreter at events, on broadcast and recorded videos is an important part of making communications, services, arts and culture accessible and inclusive for all. Natural and visual-spatial, this complex language is storytelling in motion. American Sign Language (ASL) is the first language for Deaf and hard of hearing people across the United States and English-speaking regions of Canada.
