Deaf And Disabled, Or Deafness Disables? (Disability, Human Rights, and Society)

By Corker

Deaf people are subject to different concepts of the deaf and disabled, and their place within society. There is a danger that some deaf people will become marginalized within the prevailing policy or service framework, which, in itself, mitigates against full rights, choice and participation. There is therefore a great need to identify a common language for the experience of oppression and empowerment which all deaf people can share without sacrificing their rights to self-definition.
