Just Deaf

Is deaf culture disappearing now that teaching methods are changing?

Corrie Tijsseling (GGMD): deaf education

"We used to play throughout the country with deaf sports."

What exactly do deaf people mean when they talk about 'deaf culture'?

"Deaf children live in two worlds, in a way."

"It's amazing that we can be in two worlds, the deaf world and the hearing world."

Can parents also become a part of the deaf community?

Is deaf culture an international phenomenon, or is there also a Dutch deaf culture?

How difficult is it for parents to get involved in the deaf community?

"We participate in activities with WeZoDo and the Zo Hoort Het foundation."

When do children get involved with the deaf community?

"I wasn't much of a dancer, but we could sign together at the disco."

"For the youngest I have a baby monitor with a buzzer function and a light."

"With all of that counseling we did miss insights into the whole world behind deafness and sign language."

"I'd love to work for deaf people again."

"It's really easy if everyone is deaf at a party, we can all just sign."

"The advantage of deafness is easy international communication, I want them to know that."
