Day in the life
Welcome to the IDCS Day in the life diaries written by deaf children and deaf young people worldwide.
We hope this section will be an opportunity for deaf children and deaf young people to see what a typical day is like for their deaf peers around the world and find out what similarities and differences they all share on a daily basis.
We look forward to receiving lots more diaries over the coming months, so please do Send us your diary. We are also keen to publish anything else you would like to share with us including photos, drawings, letters and poems so please get in touch by emailing IDCS.
