Deaf Experiences
What barriers are deaf users facing in different sport settings.

Many clubs, coaches, and trainers do make the efforts to ensure their facilities, sessions and staff are inclusive and accessible to as many  people as possible. However deaf and hard of hearing people still face barriers in accessing sports and physical activity. 

These are some examples of the barriers our deaf users have faced in training camps, gyms and even elite level sports. Highlighting the importance of being deaf aware makes all the difference.
