Celebrate Deaf Awareness Month with Inclusive Children's Books

By Katie Buda, MAT, LSLS Cert. AVEd

Katie Buda, Supervisor of School-Based Hearing Services

September is Deaf Awareness Month, and we invite our community to celebrate by reading these incredible stories by children's authors, featuring d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing main characters. To commemorate, several of the authors have come together to offer families 20% off signed copies. Use code DHHBooks at checkout on participating authors' websites to save on these wonderful additions to your child's bookshelf.

Happy reading!
