Are the Deaf a Disabled Group, or a Linguistic Minority?
"The path of deaf history is intertwined with the complex and competing forces that have shaped disability. The deaf are a linguistic minority group: they are an oppressed one, and none of us should be passive about accepting this in a multicultural country such as Australia. If libraries want the deaf as customers they are going to need to accept, respect and use AUSLAN for communication with the deaf." (Quoted from paper)
