NAD stop talking start DOING-then I will believe you !
Deaf Special Needs Attention Barb Raimondo and Bobbie Beth Scoggins I would not expect you to say anything less than "we value all deaf children" And people should not kick dogs, harm animals, beat their kids and drink and drive.

RNID leans on BBC ?
At The Rim Why is the BBC suppressing an government report, criticizing the RNID's 'Typetalk' text system ? My last blog which gave links and an insight to what is, an official report, is deemed too 'hot' for the BBC ? Surely deaf people have a right to be informed, when they have been validated for their criticism of this system and abandoned it day one ? Sour grapes from th...

Deaf Occupations
The DEAFinite Resource Online I was recently introduced to the No Worker Left Behind program in Michigan, where they will pay up to $5,000 a year for 2 years to help you go back to school. I thought, "This is great!" But then I started thinking of the jobs that interest me. One of them is a dog groomer. I mean, just write down what you want and I'll do it. Problem? I need school.

Deaf Special Needs This is a true schools for the deaf have never had to teach any deaf student.
