This year, Lipreading Awareness Week will run 7th-11th of September 2026.
Lipreading Awareness Week is about raising awareness for those who are deaf or hard of hearing and use lipreading as a way to support them through everyday life and the challenges they face.
Lipreading is a hard skill to learn so, raising awareness will allow more people to start learning and improve when practicing.
Throughout the week, talks and stories from people who have experience with lipreading will demonstrate and educate others who may not know much.
From this, they’re to support people who use lipreading as a main way of communication and understand more on how to communicate better. This will be done by participating in activities and having access to resources.
