💚 Independence Looks Different for Everyone
Being independent does not mean doing everything without help. It includes making choices, understanding information, communicating preferences and knowing when to ask for support.
Deaf and hard-of-hearing people use many different communication approaches, including New Zealand Sign Language, written communication, captions, speech and assistive technology.
Everyone deserves accessible information, respect and the opportunity to participate in everyday life.
