An infographic by The Spoon Platoon for International Week of the Deaf. The top of the image has the Spoon Platoon logo with letters alternating colours between red and yellow for the word Spoon, and blue and green for the word Platoon. There is a dark grey outline and white accents for the word "The" and for little spoon and hearts drawn around the words. Beneath the logo are the words "International Week of the Deaf" in light green. The main text of the graphic states, "Always ask someone how THEY want to be communicated with - some prefer writing, some sign language, and some lipreading. Everyone is different! Speak clearly, at a good volume (don't shout!). Face the Deaf/ HoH person, ensure the area is well-lit and speak at a moderate pace - not too fast or overly slow! Regardless of if they have an interpreter, you should always speak directly to the Deaf/ Hard-of-Hearing person, not the interpreter! If someone doesn't understand you, repeat what you said or phrase it differently." There is a green spoon in the bottom left, a grey hand holding the disability pride flag on the bottom right. The background of the entire graphic has textured bands of the disability pride flag colours (Black, red, yellow, white, blue, and green)

Include all audio: Captions should be descriptive, conveying spoken dialogue, but also sound effects, music cues, and other relevant audio information. Format for readability: Ensure captions are legible, adequate size, and high-contrast. Avoid placing them in a way that blocks important visuals. Accurate captions are important for making video and audio content accessible to Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences."
