“Deaf Can!” So Say The Rohana Special School Children!
Adam Stone During one lesson in the Deaf Studies class, I showed them a short video from California School for the Deaf's Middle School PAH! Day celebration.

I want to do this to honor DBC and NAD events, because I cannot be there to participate the events. I wish...

AGBell In Bed With Cochlear Implant Companies
Mishka Zena Originally posted on August 7th, 2007   AGB In Bed with Cochlear Implant Companies AGB is a non-profit organization to which parents turn for ‘unbiased’ information and advice.

For DBC in Milwaukee, A Marching Song!

So far, so good
Journey to Deaf Identity I'm doing well in graduate school, although a bit amused with teenagers here for 'summer camps' running around on campus (and pulling fire alarms- no difference between hearing and deaf kids when it comes to pulling fire alarms!)
