On International Day of Persons with Disabilities that fell on December 3, Facebook collaborated with the Family Educational Services Foundation’s (FESF) Deaf Reach, a network of schools catering to the needs of the community with hearing disabilities, to help the hearing-impaired students within the Deaf Reach school network benefit from Facebook’s online safety resources.
To mark the day and announce its partnership with Facebook, Deaf Reach held an online roundtable discussion titled ‘Empowerment through digital literacy and connectivity’. The conversation revolved around what could be done to improve the experience of people with disabilities online so that they could harness the full potential of the internet.
