The Deaf community consists of individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing and often share a common language, culture, and identity. Many members use American Sign Language (ASL) or other sign languages as their primary means of communication. This community values visual communication and often emphasizes the importance of accessibility and inclusion in society. Within the Deaf community, there is a strong sense of belonging and pride in their unique culture. Events such as Deaf festivals and sign language classes foster connections among members. Advocacy for the rights of deaf individuals, including access to education and employment, is also a significant focus within the community.
