Deaf Awareness Week is an opportunity for teachers and students to embrace the world of the Deaf and hard of hearing. Teachers can encourage inclusion and communication by using Lyfta's teaching resources to engage students in activities that teach basic sign language and foster empathy for the Deaf community. By learning about the challenges and strengths of individuals with hearing differences, students develop a sense of respect and create a more inclusive environment. It's an opportunity to broaden horizons and promote a world where everyone's voice is heard.
