Cultural benefits of storytelling

Many deaf people – or families with deaf members - report bad experiences with the hearing world because of barriers to communication, a lack of understanding about D/deaf culture and misunderstandings.

Storytelling is a useful way to explain and discuss these issues with your hearing children.

It’s also a really good way to ensure you spend time together bonding, and that your children understand you are deaf but that you can communicate with each other and that it’s nothing to worry about or be embarrassed about.
