Deaf Awareness in the workplace-10

Tip 10 - Same as everyone 

Deaf people vary like everyone else - in temperament, work rate, intelligence, special skills. Like everyone else, they expect to be respected for what they can do at work. They expect to contribute to the team like everyone else. While sign language is complex and takes time to learn, Deaf people will respond positively to anyone who tries to be visual and who makes the attempt to communicate directly.
