Thanks, everyone! So far I have 3 parts posted. At least one more to go, perhaps two.

This is a story about a Deaf girl. I'm still working on it, but this is part one. Parts 2 and 3 are linked on the site. Next week I'll be doing part 4. http://www.munkymind.com/blog/2016/07/02/secret-signs-part-one/

I would appreciate your help in sharing this link below to an article that I wrote to support our community and Deaf Grassroots Movement, about why employers should hire deaf. It is written to employers, so hopefully will get read by the right people...

Here's a post to share with hearing people: http://www.munkymind.com/blog/2016/03/05/im-not-ignoring-you-im-deaf/ Tell me your stories of people assuming that you were ignoring them!

This is not just about lip-reading, but also other issues such as people thinking that raising their voices is going to make a difference for every one of us. Would love to see your thoughts. What did I leave out...

Sounds pretty normal, so hang in there, but one thing I think is pretty important is to stick with what you want her to do and not give in to tantrummy demands.

Congrats! I have 3 kids myself. Outnumbered!

A parent requested that I write about this topic. Sharing here because I think it's beneficial for parents of deaf kids. http://www.munkymind.com/blog/2016/02/20/your-deaf-kids-and-the-hearing-world/ I'd love to discuss this. What do you think?
