Our original "Language Deprivation" tee was designed in 2019 (7 years ago). While the original design still remains popular to this day, it's time to offer a different spin on the same message! So here's the newest version — Language Deprivation 2.0 — Bringing awareness to the fact that hearing loss does not cause language delays. Language Deprivation causes language delays. Help spread the word by wearing this shirt!
Fun fact: The colors used in this shirt are intentionally based off of the Deaf Flag. As shared by the World Federation of the Deaf, Turquoise Blue represents the deaf community and sign language, pride, and unity. Yellow represents the color of light, an enlightened spirit, life, and "thriving in unison." Navy (tee color) represents the earth, humanity and living in accordance with the planet. All the colors together represent an awareness of humanity as inherently diverse, a diversity of peoples, and languages on Earth. It shows we are here, we belong to this world, we are a part of humanity. Deaf people are a part of a rich diversity that makes humanity better.
