American Sign Language, Deaf Education and Deaf Culture: An Outsider's Inside Look

Today’s episode is a special one for me because I’ll be sharing my appreciation for and experience with working in the world of Deaf education and alongside a community grounded in their Deaf culture.  I’ll give some history on the evolution of deafness in education since the 1988 Deaf Power Now revolution at Gallaudet University in Washington DC; offer some cultural perspective and share my personal eyewitness account.
