💡 Focus: Student Autonomy
-Students have the right to choose how they communicate
-Interpreters adapt as students grow and build self-advocacy skills
-Encouraging students to speak up and ask for support builds independence
-Educators play a key role by supporting and reinforcing student voice

Empowering Deaf and hard-of-hearing students to advocate for themselves helps set them up for lifelong success.
