๐Ÿงโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’™ Deaf Awareness Month โ€“ September ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงโ€โ™‚๏ธ

10th Sep 2025

This month, we’re proud to support Deaf Awareness Month - a time to increase understanding, celebrate Deaf culture, and promote inclusion for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

At Lissan PS, this awareness is especially meaningful as we have a pupil with a severe/profound hearing impairment. Their presence in our school community reminds us every day of the importance of empathy, communication, and accessibility for all.

Throughout Deaf Awareness Month, we aim to:
๐Ÿ‘‚ Raise awareness about the challenges and experiences of those with hearing loss
๐ŸคŸ Promote the use and learning of sign language
๐Ÿ’ฌ Encourage inclusive communication in and out of the classroom
๐Ÿ’™ Celebrate the strength and diversity of the Deaf and hard of hearing community

Let’s work together to create a school environment where every voice matters - whether spoken, signed, or supported.
