In the last few weeks, DeafMonitor has launched Wiki and For New Parents (Early Intervention) pages. DeafMonitor's Wiki has the same logic as Wikipedia's - where users can go in and edit. Take a look and expand it wherever possible!
Community Voices
Stories, opinions, and perspectives from the Deaf community — in their own words.
Fifteen years of GAAD. One choice we made early: every video on DeafMonitor ships with captions on, visible on the first frame. Not behind a CC button. Not "available if you ask." Open by default. That should be the floor for any accessibility-first platform.
18 days since launch and you showed up — 69 members, 1,198 stories, 58 open jobs, 825+ Deaf-owned businesses, 16K+ library sources. Four new pages just shipped: Advocacy, Handspace, AI Forum, Statistics. Shop is next. What should we build after that?
The DeafMonitor's library now has close to 17,000 resources on the shelves. Browse and let us know if you'd like to add features to it. If you don't see your thesis or research paper thats of deaf relevance, feel free to submit!
We just launched Handspace, a place where the community can upload their vlogs. A signing-first video feed. You can find Handspace under the Community tab at the top of the page. Enjoy!
Today is a big day! Thank you for being here.
Hello world! Excited for launch day tomorrow! This is an example of what a Deaf Perspective posting looks like!
