Rights+of+the+Deaf+(France+v.+the+USA)

A trip to the **Institut National de Jeunes Sourds de Paris** (INJS), the Deaf school located in Paris, France opened our eyes to the rights and opportunity available to the Deaf in France. To our surprise, these rights were inequal to those offered and legally required by the United States government. These rights include the provision of interpreters, accessibility, training programs, and hiring practices. Personal interviews coupled with research will expand these thoughts on this page.
