Mother,

The last Sunday in April is considered as an international holiday for deaf parents, named Mother Father Deaf Day.

Each year our goal is to pay attention of the community via social media, following families and organizations across the globe observing this special day!

History of Mother, Father Deaf Day

Mother, Father Deaf Day is a holiday for children of deaf adults who are known as codas to commemorate their parents. There are many deaf adults with hearing children, and that can be a unique parent-child relationship. Since these children are more integrated into the deaf community than most people with hearing loss, they often go into careers helping the deaf.
