Aspiring drivers can translate the text of the Saskatchewan Driver’s Handbook on the SGI website into more than 130 languages — but American Sign Language (ASL) is not one of them.
That’s why Adam Stratychuk, who has been deaf his entire life, is on a mission to make it more accessible for deaf and hard of hearing people to get their driver’s licence.
“Fifty-four per cent of jobs require a driver’s licence,” Stratychuk said. “We are already limited because of deafness, but if we have a driver’s licence it opens up a lot of doors for opportunity.”
Stratychuk was hired by the Saskatchewan Deaf and Hard of Hearing
