I love how you highlight the importance of recognizing the rights of deaf children! As someone who volunteered with a local deaf education program, I saw firsthand how vital early advocacy is. What do you think are gd some effective ways communities can further support these children's rights? I'd love to hear more about your thoughts on that!
