چکیده
Croatia has a rich tradition of activities aimed at integration of the deaf. The Croatian Association of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing was established in 1921 and today has approximately 9000 members in 23 organizations. This association is a member of the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD) and the International and European Federation of Hard of Hearing People, and it is also affiliated to the national Association of Organizations of Disabled Persons in Croatia (2). As early as 1955, the World Federation of the Deaf organized its second congress in Zagreb, which was attended by approximately 2000 deaf people and experts in the field from around the world. On that occasion, the idea to organize the International Day of Deaf Persons was initiated, and the President of the Yugoslav Association, Dragoljub Vukotić (1924-1997) became president of the Federation.
