Very nice work and thoughtful, but you need to work on your presentation skills !
And one of your last sentences: "When you look at a deaf person those are not disabilities, those are opportunities and you can build a successful business". This is a mean sentence, those ARE disabilities for those people but opportunities for YOU, you can't compare them. And you could show that you mainly want to help people rather than thinking of business.
