4. Deaf people face many difficulties in using both public and private services. Deafness promotes a communication barrier and many institutions, both public and private, do not offer services with a professional who can promote communication between these people. This problem is intensified when an individual is deaf-blind, as the institutions do not have any communication plan for them.
5. The culture of the deaf as my culture stimulates contact between the family, creating a strong family bond between people. In the culture of the deaf, this bond must be even greater, since the deaf depend on their relatives in some moments of their daily lives. In addition, families within the culture of the deaf need to be more concerned with accessibility issues that allow the deaf to enjoy the family environment as anyone. In my culture, however, accessibility is not so considered.
