Access to the Internet for Deaf People Beat Kleeb, Dr. Phil Harper Expert Group on Accessibility and Technology World Federation of the Deaf WFD

70,000,000 deaf people 80% live in developing countries

Sign languages are the natural languages of deaf people Sign languages are the natural languages of deaf people. Recognition of sign languages is critical in the movement for deaf rights. A key factor to accessibility is the right to sign language interpreting. Deaf children are best instructed in subjects through national sign language, along with the written form of the national language. Thus a bilingual approach in education for deaf children is crucial. For deaf people, accessibility often rests upon the availability of sign language interpreters. Deaf People and Human Rights, by Ms Hilde Haualand and Mr Colin Allen for the World Federation of the Deaf and the Swedish National Association of the Deaf, 2009
