- Society & Culture
This week Victoria and Debbie discuss the concept of being 'signing impaired'. They talk about the fact that it is often perceived as the deaf person as being 'hearing impaired' - but an interesting way to look at things is considering the hearing person as being 'signing impaired' if they are unable to communicate in sign language.
This podcast also discusses the deaf culture and how the model of the deaf community is changing.
