On World Hearing Day, we remember the importance of having information that makes visible the realities of the deaf community in Puerto Rico.

The Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics has the results of the Deaf Community Needs Study, a tool that documents experiences related to access to services, communication, barriers and situations of discrimination.

The availability of this data supports analysis, conversations and informed decisions around accessibility and inclusion. The study is available for consultation on the Institute's official website at: https://www.estadisticas.pr.gov/productos/resultados-necesidades-comunidad-sorda.
