Black text at the centre reads: how do stereotypes, social norms, medical knowledge and the construction of social, technological, and research environments impact peoples affective experiences, sense of self, and authenticity? When are these impacts unjust?

I was today years old when I found out that hearing parents of children born deaf ARE NOT given access to any free BSL lessons - parents have to pay themselves, + they get more expensive as they go up the levels (which they need to support their child to have rich communication). How crap is that??
