Is deaf culture disappearing now that teaching methods are changing?

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

When do children get involved with the deaf community?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Can parents also become a part of the deaf community?

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