Deaf and Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Week
September 16 - September 22
Deaf and Hard of Hearing Breastfeeding Week is organized by the DC Breastfeeding Coalition.
Universal access is not an add-on to this work. A family who cannot get information in the language they actually use is a family we have not served, and this week names that plainly. Follow their page and use what they publish.
Celebrate it locally. Ask one hard question where you are: if a Deaf parent walked into your support group next week, what would happen?
