Ted Talk – Why we need to make education more accessible to the deaf

Model and activist Nyle DiMarco — who was born deaf — is often asked whether he wishes he could hear. His answer? “I’ve never wished that because I love who I am.” In this personal talk, he emphasizes the connection between education and self esteem, arguing why we need more accessible education for the deaf.

This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxKlagenfurt, an independent event.
