Celebrate Deaf Awareness Month with a webinar exploring the rich and varied representation of Deaf actors, characters, contestants, and culture across television. From beloved children’s classics like Sesame Street to political dramas, space westerns, comedies, reality TV, and more, this session will highlight shows that bring Deaf experiences and stories to the screen. Together, we’ll examine how Deaf characters and storylines are portrayed, what these representations can teach viewers about Deaf culture, language, and community, and how accessibility and inclusion appear in both scripted and unscripted formats. Participants will come away with a curated list of engaging shows to watch and a deeper appreciation for the diversity of Deaf representation in television.

American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services and Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) captioning services will be provided. If you need additional accommodations to participate in this webinar, please email the ADA Coordinator at [email protected].
