International Day of Sign Languages

The International Day of Sign Languages, 23 September, is a unique opportunity to support and protect the linguistic identity and cultural diversity of all deaf people and other sign language users. Early access to sign language and services in sign language, including quality education available in sign language, is vital to the growth and development of individuals.
