Deaf Awareness Resources

Updated: Aug 10

Thank you to @PupCaspar (IG) for sharing this great resource list with me and the pup community. It was wonderful to have our IG Live conversation about how we can make the pup and kink communities more inclusive of pups and kinksters who are deaf and hard of hearing.


This is resource list is incomplete - but it is a start. We will keep adding things to it as we learn about them. If you have things to add, please reach out to Cooper via the contact page of this website. This is list is shareable.

Any omission of a resource is not intentional. There are just SO many resources (which is fantastic!).
