The results of this research is that the rights of Deaf people to accessibility and communication have not been fully implemented according to the mandate of Law No. 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities. However, this does not mean that the rights of the Deaf are not fulfilled at all, but in the stage of development. This is because there are two conditions that researcher find among Deaf people, namely Deaf people whose rights have been fulfilled, and Deaf people whose rights have not been fulfilled.
