On the other hand, the communication preferences of deaf people who use sign language may not be respected. In this case, in addition to health rights, language rights also involve clear recognition that deaf sign language users are part of a distinct community with its own language. Impact statement: Research could have a positive impact in improvement to Access, comunicación and safe in the Deaf Community, in clinical context. PMID: 29451100 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
