- Design Bites Live: AuralApp - Literacy for the Deaf communityLink visible for attendees
Are you interested in using your skills to help improve literacy for the Deaf community?
In a world that predominantly communicates through spoken and written language, Deaf individuals experience a significant lack of linguistic exposure, especially in environments where sign language is not used. This has profound consequences, manifesting in academic struggles, social isolation, and limited employment opportunities. Motivated by her own experience, Deaf Oral founder Shraddha Agarwal is working to bridge the gap of language acquisition by providing literacy for the Deaf community.
Join us to learn about her journey, her project, and how you can help make a difference!
