Reflecting back on: International Day of sign language and hearing

Refleha Bek 2

Sign Language and hearing day is a day to reflect on a disability that provides a different and difficult skill, but one designed to help communication between us and them. Sign language may be uncommon in our community but for many people the only thing they can judge.

Thursday, September 23 was a day to reflect on the information given to different people who do not have the ability to express themselves with their voice but who must use their hands, a completely different and complex language, a language that is to be applauded for its difficulty to teach and understand.

Sign language is a language that for people who cannot communicate with their voice or with hearing problems opens a very large door so that they can better communicate and understand what every person wants to speak or tell them. Language has differences, sign language also has different types, but it is interpreted globally.

Here in Aruba the need to know sign language is shown as small one but reality it is a big one in order to promote true inclusion and a strong relationship with anyone, being open to learning such a language takes a lot of courage but it will be of great impact for people who depend on it to make bonds in their present and future.
