Deaf rights refer to the legal and social entitlements of individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. These rights aim to ensure equal access to education, employment, and public services, promoting inclusion and preventing discrimination. Laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the United States support these rights by requiring accommodations like sign language interpreters and accessible communication methods. Advocacy groups, such as the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), work to raise awareness about the challenges faced by the deaf community. They strive to protect and advance the rights of deaf individuals, ensuring they can fully participate in society without barriers.
