The NDCS Who am I project was a three-year project in Scotland. The aim was to support deaf young people, their parents and siblings through the testing and rewarding time of being a teenager. For parents of a deaf teenager there can be additional challenges. At a time when young people are finding their place in the world, coming to terms with being deaf can be a difficult process. This project was seen as the first of its kind in that it focused on deaf teenagers, offering advice direct from the peer group. Deaf young people wrote about who they are, about their lives and about their hopes and dreams.
Below are just two of the stories from the 'Who am I' project: Arif's story and his family's story
Further associated resources can be accessed from the NDCS website.
