Trustful dialogue

Written by

This interview is about inclusion and social commitments regarding people with hearing disability conditions. Dr. Le Guen explains how, among the Yucatec Maya community, there is no criteria form normality and hence exclusion.

He explains how, from a linguistic perspective, deafness is not necessarily treated as a disability, since deaf people develop a visual language that allows them to communicate, which can be understood as if they were speaking another or a foreign language.
