Featured Disability-Related Resources
September is deaf awareness month in Oklahoma and across the country. Deaf culture in Oklahoma has a strong history that continues to shape our communities today. For many years, Oklahomans who are deaf have learned together in local schools, built friendships through clubs and events, and shared sign language as an important part of daily life. These connections helped people support one another and celebrate traditions. Today, Oklahoma’s Deaf community keeps growing as more students, families, and leaders learn about sign language and work for better access in schools, jobs, and public spaces. In the future, new technology, stronger inclusion, and ongoing education will help youth and adults who are deaf across Oklahoma connect even more. By learning and respecting each other, we can make sure people with deafness are included and valued throughout our state.
