Significant Days for Early Childhood Education and Care

The International Day of Sign Language, observed annually on September 23rd, is a testament to the power of sign languages in promoting communication and inclusivity. Sign languages are complete, natural languages with their own grammar and vocabulary, allowing individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to communicate effectively and express themselves on par with spoken languages. This day raises awareness about the importance of recognizing and supporting sign languages as a means to break down communication barriers and create an inclusive society.
