I apologize for not blogging as much, but the book proposal and end of summer activities have kept me busy.
In the next week or so, I think the book proposal will be finished. It’s starting to look really nice, and I think I have novel information to offer the DHH reading market.
Interestingly, here are many, [...]

This morning I was shopping at my local grocery store.
While in there, I saw a DHH woman walking down an aisle with a hearing son. It was apparent to me that she had a cochlear implant done in the past. We were surprised to see each other, because obviously we are both local. I didn’t [...]

I have been reading about hard of hearing children in schools.
Interestingly, the book says that DHH children with loss of hearing in only one ear, tend to have more behavioral problems than those with normal hearing, or have hearing loss in BOTH ears. (Actor [...]

While in high school, I met a hearing friend who was interested in DHH issues, and she was determined enough to go on and learn American sign language, and eventually she got her DHH teaching credential.
After we both graduated from high school, we parted ways and I lost touch with her.
Well recently I signed up [...]

It has come to my attention that many people are wanting hearing aids, but can’t afford them in this dismal economy.
However, many places do provide them for free or for very low cost.
One place is Lions Clubs International. They are very active in collecting used hearing aids and distributing them to clients who really need [...]

After several computer glitches that [...]

Today, I want to talk briefly about a well-known DHH [...]

It’s good to see that Bush has signed into law the Americans With Disabilities Amendments Act of 2008. The Amendments go into effect starting January 1, 2009. Interestingly, Senator Obama was one of the co-sponsors of the ADAAA.
In the past, the courts had interpreted the ADA to be only for those with really severe disabilities, [...]
