From my experience teaching at several schools for the Deaf so far in my career, I met many people who were afraid to ask questions about their Deaf child(ren), their Deaf family members, and their struggles meeting and getting to know Deaf people. I hope this place removes the barrier for many folks out there who come across my site to read and learn a new thing or two without experiencing stress or anxiety from reaching out with questions about Deaf culture and folks. As always, please feel free to contact me if you have questions or suggestions. I am always here for your Deaf person, even if they aren’t in my classes. Additionally, I hope this place provides my students an opportunity to self-reflect and advocate for themselves to build resilience, while approaching adulthood.

*I am sharing specific posts with an ASSUMPTION that the reader only knows the medical perspective when it comes to deafness. I am highlighting social perspectives regarding Deaf people and their experiences living, working, and playing with people who do not sign.
