As Deaf History Month ends today, we have a blog exploring the legacy of Deaf schools and their impact on identity, community, and resilience. We also have a free downloadable PDF that is a checklist of all Deaf school museums. How about making it a bucket list to visit all of them? Read the blog at https://lnkd.in/g-dQ8wGy NOTE: We recognize this list may not be all-inclusive. If you know of a school museum you’d like to see added to the checklist, please share it in the comments! #DeafHistoryMonth #DeafHistory #Deaf #HardOfHearing #DeafSchools #BucketList #ASL #DeafCommunity [Image Description: "...but what is Deaf history without Deaf Schools?" is the header centered.

So, no matter where the future of technology takes us, we'll always be here. #DeafHistoryMonth #DeafCommunity #DeafCulture #ASL #AccessibilityForAll [Image Description: Image Description: A rough textured gray background, 'Deaf History Month' with a cut-out faded echo feel on the top left, a quote on the center-left, "As long as we have deaf people on earth, we will have signs..." - George Veditz, the CSD logo on the bottom left, a circular photo of George Veditz in a suit and glasses taking up the whole half of the graphic on the right.]
