Sound for Light is my Deaf Perspective.
If you’ve ever wondered
how a Deaf person might feel
about a range of topics
from hot-button advocacy issues
to everyday stuff, this is a good place to check out.
Here you’ll find articles and resources on
deafness, ASL, hearing loss and access
suitable for pretty much everyone:
families, individuals, ASL students
as well as the larger hearing community.
Most people have a peripheral knowledge
of deafness and Deaf people
until they need to know more..
Like when they become a business owner, meet a new friend
or someone in their family is born or becomes deaf.
A lot of the information out there
comes from a second hand or an outsider’s perspective.
Or worse, there’s an attempt to speak for Deaf people –
by people who are not.
Deaf and hearing loss resources should have our input.
So, that’s what you’ll find here. Welcome!
