👉 The Deaf Project is an initiative by the University of California, Berkeley, aimed at fostering a more inclusive and accessible environment for Deaf and hard-of-hearing students. It focuses on creating resources, policies, and practices that support Deaf students' academic success and well-being. Key aspects include the development of Deaf-friendly curricula, the provision of sign language interpretation and captioning services, and the establishment of a Deaf student advisory board to ensure their voices are heard in decision-making processes. The project also emphasizes the importance of cultural competency among faculty and staff to better understand and support the Deaf community.
