You won't believe which disability costs the most to educate. Hint: it's not what you think. My research uncovers a deep contradiction within the Deaf community: we champion Deaf culture, advocate for ADA rights, and accept disability benefits—yet many of us deny deafness as a disability.
This "schizophrenic" reality is threatening the very existence of our Deaf schools across the U.S. and beyond. While ASL drives a multi-billion dollar economy, our specialized schools are struggling. I'll break down the surprising cost-effectiveness of Deaf schools compared to mainstream interpreting, and reveal how our silence on economics might be leading to their demise. Can we de-institutionalize without losing them entirely?
