#Deaflympics

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Was chatting to one of my kids tonight about #BSL…they were encouraging me to practice!

Then they mentioned a Paralympic’s video from 2016 which they like called ‘Yes I can!’. There is a small section where someone signs.

This got us wondering if I hadn’t left it too late to start my Paralympic career?! But then we discovered you can’t enter the Paralympics if you are just #Deaf…but there is a separate #Deaflympics!
