The Deaf Community
The Deaf Community is defined as a group of people who share a visual perception of the world, a common cultural and social experience and use a common language.
This includes people who are Deaf, their families and hearing people who share the above experiences and understanding.
A Deaf person is someone who is either Deaf or Hard of Hearing and considers themselves to be part of the Deaf Community.
