Changing The Narrative

Through Storytelling.

The Deaf Social

by For The Deaf Girl

Welcome to the best of both worlds—where world-class accessibility meets authentic representation for the dDeaf and Hard of Hearing Community.

About Us

We’re so glad you’re here.

Visualize a world where accessibility surpasses the baseline ADA-approved checklist. We’ve all sat through the same old outdated office sensitivity and awareness training video. (No Janet, we don’t still use or prefer the word hearing impaired). Instead, imagine expecting world-class experience everywhere you stride into—always leaving feeling seen, understood, and celebrated. Forgetting to call ahead about [fill-in-the-blank] accommodations because you know that your accessibility needs weren’t an afterthought. This is the kind of Accessible, Inclusive, and Cultural shifts we mean when we say changing the narrative.

At For The Deaf Girl and The Deaf Social, we set out to create these safe, accessible, and inclusive spaces in our community for the dDeaf, Hard of Hearing, Disabled, and Chronically Ill Communities. To us, accessibility transcends the necessities.

Okay, cool. But what do you actually do?

Great question!

We offer custom accessibility & cultural awareness plans, courses, and hands-on training workshops that seamlessly integrate into your unique business model, and workspace.
Now, you may be thinking... "That sounds intimidating AND expensive." But what if we told you it doesn't have to be?
We want to empower your team with invaluable skills, and educational resources so you can prepare your space and team from the beginning. Let inclusivity be what sets your brand apart from the rest.
Our consultants have a background in Strategic Communications, and have a passion for customer loyalty. We want to collaborate with organizations that value accessible and inclusive world-class service.
