Events and Opportunities 

International Week of the Deaf is celebrated by the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) and its national associations and their affiliates globally during the last full week of September (Monday through Sunday), culminating with International Day of the Deaf on the last Sunday of the week. The first International Day of the Deaf was first celebrated by the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) in 1958. The day of awareness was later extended to a full week, becoming the International Week of the Deaf. My Aunt used to drive a school bus for the Atlanta School for the Deaf & sometimes I rode along. She was ASL fluent. Such great memories of learning how to do simple signs so I could talk to the kids. HOW TO OBSERVE #WeekOfTheDeaf.
